The Shelley House in St. Louis, Missouri, is a historic duplex built in 1906 that played a pivotal role in the landmark 1948 United States Supreme Court case Shelley v. Kraemer, which declared racially restrictive covenants unconstitutional. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1990, the house retains its original architectural integrity and significance. This two-story brick rowhouse, located in the Fairground district of St. Louis, features separate apartments on each level with a four-room plan and front porch supported by wood columns. The Shelley family's fight against racial discrimination in housing, culminating in the Supreme Court decision, is a significant part of the house's history.Generated from the website
