Webbley, Early 20th-century residence in North Carolina, United States

Webbley, also known as the O. Max Gardner House, is a two-story frame dwelling in Shelby, North Carolina. Built in 1852 and overbuilt in 1907 in the Colonial Revival style, it has a low-pitched hip roof with a flat roof deck and balustrade, two hip-roof rear ells, and a full-height flat-roof portico on fluted Ionic columns.

Webbley was built in 1852 and enlarged in 1907 in the Colonial Revival style. James L. Webb bought it in 1911, giving the house its name, and it was home to Governor Oliver Max Gardner and his wife Fay Webb-Gardner from 1911 until his death in 1947. It joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, stood vacant from 1981, and was bought and renovated in 1989 by Oliver Max Gardner III.

The name Webbley was adopted shortly after James L. Webb bought the house in 1911. From that year until 1947 it was the home of Governor Oliver Max Gardner and his wife Fay Webb-Gardner. After decades of vacancy it reopened in 1993 as a bed and breakfast inn.

Webbley opened as a bed and breakfast inn in 1993, so overnight stays are the way to see the interior. It stands in the Central Shelby Historic District, and the flat-roofed portico with its fluted Ionic columns faces the street. The house was vacant from 1981 until Oliver Max Gardner III bought and renovated it in 1989.

Webbley takes its name from James L. Webb, who bought the house in 1911, the same year Governor O. Max Gardner and his wife Fay Webb-Gardner moved in. Gardner, governor of North Carolina from 1929 to 1933, lived here until his death in 1947. The house stood vacant from 1981 until Oliver Max Gardner III bought and renovated it in 1989.
