The Disney House
This home was built in 1883 for Robert McKinney, president of Niles Tool Works, which was the largest machine tool manufacturing company in the world.
The house and carriage house are two of the finest examples of half-timbered Queen Anne architecture in the city. Interior features of the main house include 7 ornate Victorian fireplace mantels, 15 bucolic paintings of rural settings, intricately patterned wood floors, along with stained and leaded glass windows including an elaborate tri-part Oriel window. Thomas Carley, the next owner, was president of The Columbia Carriage Company, which operated out of the carriage house. Carriages built on the 2nd floor were rolled down a ramp into the courtyard. Remnants of original horse stalls were incorporated into the restoration of 1st floor units.
The property was restored by Bob Sherwin & Sherry Corbett, it continues to be loved & owned by Bob’s children as a lasting memorial to their legacies. This property was the last restoration project completed by Sherry Corbett. She called it her “jewel.” It features one AirBnB short term rental with beautifully maintained historic details and woodwork.
