TRULY ONE OF THE GREATS! This Monroe landmark was once the home site of Colonel Henry OKellys tobacco and cotton plantation and was located at 123 North Sixth Street in Monroe. As time marched on, the dwelling became surrounded by buildings and a super highway better known as I-20. In 1971, Architect Travis Oliver and his wife Sally purchased the home with the goal of restoring the home as close to its original appearance as possible. The home was then moved piece by piece to a large tract on Horseshoe Lake Road. Over the years, the owners have built numerous additions including a pool and gazebo, a 3 car garage, a guest apt, an exercise room, and a large addition in 1980 which included a new kitchen, family room and guest suite.
