ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORIC INFORMATION

The circa 1907 D.C. Bradshaw House is one of ten pivotal properties in the North Long Street-Park Avenue National Historic District, built by David Clarence Bradshaw and occupied by his family until 1944. The late Victorian home is beautifully constructed with a third-story turret with slate roof and copper detail, expansive wrap-around porch, stained glass oval windows, hand-carved newel posts, and so much more.

There are numerous exquisite doors, as well as six fireplaces, ornate mantels, 10-foot ceilings, wainscoting, and original trim. The Bradshaw House is owned by Historic Salisbury Foundation and underwent a 2024 stabilization including pebbledash and trim exterior repair, complete turret restoration, porch column replacement, exterior paint, new roof, and more.
