About the Owners
E lise Gilchrist, proud owner and
future event coordinator, feels it was just
right for her family to buy the house.
"For someone else to have bought the
home and tried to hire the work out, it
wouldn't have been logical," she said in an
interview with
Shoals Woman.  "  We were
just the right people at the right time."
Having grown up in Sheffield, she has
always been familiar with the house.  Elise
also graduated from the University of
Alabama, where she met her husband.    
Elise has a passion for the house that is
required to restore the decaying old home
back to its granduer.  She has often said
the house is not for her, but for the people
and the city of Tuscumbia, and she intends
to keep it that way.
“I wouldn’t want this
house for just me and
my family; I want it
for the community and
for future generations."
