This is a rare opportunity to own a historic home in the heart of Downtown Lafayette! The Wagner-Shambaugh House was built in 1913 for sisters Laura, Philomena, and Lucille Wagner, who had previously lived with their father, John Wagner, on North 4th Street. A German immigrant and prominent beer baron,… Read More John Wagner was associated with the famed Thieme & Wagner Brewing Company. The house reflects a mixture of Colonial Revival and Classical Revival styles, befitting the prominence of the Wagner family at the time. In 1925, Gertrude Shambaugh purchased the home and lived there until 1981. A pioneering businesswoman, Shambaugh was one of the first women in the country to own and operate her own automobile dealerships. Her long association with the house became an important part of its history. The home also retains a special connection to the Wagner family's earlier residence at 715 N. 4th Street, built in the 1850s. The Baroque Revival chandeliers in the living room and dining room were brought to the 1913 house by the Wagner sisters from their original home, preserving a tangible piece of the family's earlier history within their new residence. After decades of history and changing ownership, the Wagner-Shambaugh House was brought back to life by the Robinson family in the late 20th century. Their efforts helped preserve the home's architectural character and the stories of the families who shaped its history, allowing the Wagner-Shambaugh House to remain a lasting reminder of Lafayette's architectural and cultural heritage.
