2726 Preston Street
Davis House
Within Old Shandon stand residences whose owners represent third and fourth generations of the families who built them. Erected in 1915 by Braxton Bragg Davis as a single-family dwelling, this house was converted into a triplex during the Depression to support the influx of people into the city center. It remains as apartments with one of its addresses maintained by a descendant of the original owner.
