What a crime that this beautiful house is no more. The Gilpin Court neighborhood used to have many such. Alas.

Eberhard Lohman House

301 East Preston Street Built, 1852 Demolished, unknown

[ORN]

John Lohman’s brick house at 1000 North Third was built in 1851 but collapsed three years later, due to street-grading, which bears out our surmise that the north end of Third was once higher than at present. Rebuilt in 1856, the Lohman house is one of the most attractive in this group, in spite of a bathroom-tile finish on the bricks.

Diagonally across from it and facing Preston Street is another brick house, built by Eberhard Lohman, a carpenter, as was John. Originally a step-gabled house, it has been raised to three stories, with an awkward roof-line. Occupied by the Lohmans until the early ’nineties, the house was afterwards used as the hall of the Knights of Pythias. Its long frame wing, evidently intended to be servants’ quarters, is both picturesque and interesting as the birthplace of the dancer, Bill (”Bojangles”) Robinson.
