Walker-Woodward-Schaffer House
Walker-Woodward-Schaffer House, Historic residence in Palmyra, Missouri, United States.
The Walker-Woodward-Schaffer House is a two-story brick residence in Palmyra featuring a hipped roof and decorated cornices. The structure displays Italianate design with a front verandah and an additional rear wing that extends the living space.
The residence was built around 1868 and gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The house represents the residential style that developed in Missouri during that era.
The house was the birthplace of actress Jane Darwell, who later found success in Hollywood films. Visitors can see the living spaces where a celebrated performer spent her early years.
The house is located in downtown Palmyra and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should be aware this is a private residence, so access may be limited to exterior viewing.
The rear wing of the house displays rare architectural details from the 1860s that are uncommon in Missouri residential buildings of that period. This feature makes it a valuable example of regional building practices of the era.
