One of the most impressive Historic homes in Madisonville. “Miss Ruby” as most of the locals call this home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home has many of the original frame and glass door as well as the leaded glass transom. The foyer includes a beautiful Czechoslovakian Crystal chandelier and grand staircase, all of which give the home the welcoming and classic feel. There is a third floor with a full bath, setting area and space for another bedroom. The lot runs from Union St. to Franklin St. and bounded on the South side by Hall St. This is truly a one of a kind home. The pier mirror in the living room is original to the home and is included with the sale. The current owners have tastefully fenced the rear yard and converted an unused garage area into a family room.
