1896 O' MALLEY HOUSE
This Colonial Revival style home was built in 1896 and is named after its original owner, Dominick O'Malley.
Mr. O'Malley, a local newspaper owner, was known for discovering and exposing corruption among City and police officials at the time.
The 1896 O'Malley House was built by Paul Broyard, a free man of color and well-known architect and builder, who was credited with building many distinctive homes of the era.
This home was purchased in 1998 by your hosts, Tommy Crane, one of the top Realtors in the City, and Kevin Bourgeois, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Having bought and renovated many historic homes in the City, Tommy could not resist when he saw most of the original architectural details still intact.
These included all cypress woodwork, marble and cypress wood carved mantels, coved ceilings, 9 ft. pocket doors, brass hardware, magnificent stairways, pine flooring and more.
Phase One of the renovation included all new wiring, plumbing, sheetrock, and baths to bring this home up to today's codes.
All of the cypress millwork was stripped by hand and clear sealed for protection. Phase Two included the same as the previous with the addition of converting the home from a double to a single residence.
