David Yeiser House
David Yeiser House, Greek Revival residence in Paducah, United States.
The David Yeiser House is a single-story brick building in Paducah featuring a low hip roof and twin chimneys. Its original entrance retains sidelights, a transom window above the door, and decorative pilasters framing the opening.
The house was built in 1852 for William Smedley, who owned a wharf boat operation. It later became the residence of David Yeiser, a former mayor of Paducah.
The house formerly served as a museum displaying personal items and memorabilia from a former US Vice President. This role connected the building to regional political history and made it a place where visitors could learn about an important figure from Kentucky.
The house is located in the historic downtown area and is easily reached on foot. As a registered landmark, it is viewable from the street, allowing visitors to appreciate the exterior architecture and original details from the sidewalk.
The building survived a Civil War battle when Confederate forces attacked the Union-held Fort Anderson nearby. Many surrounding structures were destroyed, but this house remained standing and is a tangible reminder of that turbulent period.
