Its major components are believed to have been delivered from Tennessee in thirteen railroad cars. It features original fireplaces and mantles, stained glass windows, hardwood floors and light fixtures.
Beginning in 1910, this home was used by Mr. Shepards' daughter, Kate, for a private boarding and day school where prominent Mobile citizens sent their children. Many of the schools books and tools are on display in The Shepard Library.
