Circa 1852
These grounds are a part of the original 147 acre tract donated by James Love to form the Town of Shelby in 1841. Augustus W. Burton built the original house in 1852; J.A. and Oliver Gardner Anthony overbuilt the 1852 house in 1907. Webbley is named for Judge James L. Webb and Kansas Love Andrews Webb, who purchased the home in 1911. Judge Webb's daughter, Fay Webb Gardner, and her husband, North Carolina Governor and Ambassador to Great Britain O. Max Gardner, lived in the home from 1911 until the Governor's death in 1947. Fay Webb Gardner thereafter occupied the home until her death in 1969. Webbley was restored by the Governor's grandson, O. Max Gardner III and his wife, Victoria Harwell-Gardner, 1989-90.| HM Number | HMFKW |
