Shelley House, Civil rights landmark house in St. Louis, United States.
The two-story brick residence at 4600 Labadie Avenue features traditional architectural elements common to St. Louis residential buildings from the early 1900s.
The property became the center of a landmark Supreme Court case in 1948 when the Shelley family challenged discriminatory housing practices through legal action.
The residence represents a turning point in African American housing rights, leading to changes in property ownership practices across the United States.
Visitors interested in viewing the exterior of this private residence can find it in the northern section of St. Louis, near Natural Bridge Avenue.
This house earned National Historic Landmark status for its role in eliminating court enforcement of racial restrictions in property transactions nationwide.
