Address: 601 North Poplar Street Year built: 1898 Style: Queen Anne Notable: One of the few Fourth Ward homes unique to its original site and orientation

The Sheppard House at 601 North Poplar is an 1898 Queen Anne. Per Friends of Fourth Ward, it is one of only a few homes on the walking tour still in its original site and orientation — most Fourth Ward historic houses were moved or re-oriented during the 1970s restoration. The Sheppard's interior and exterior appointments are reported in remarkable condition.

Notable features per FOFW: a slate roof, trim under the eaves, stained-glass windows, and many late-Victorian touches.
