Shipley Lydecker House Named after Charles Shipley and Philip Lydecker, the Shipley Lydecker House boasted its Victorian / Mason in 1802 or 1803. They later sold the estate to a Mr.

The Shipley Lydecker House has an elaborate history which makes a difficult timeline to lay out. Here is a synopsis from what research I have found; the house was built by Nicholas Carroll for his daughter Ann Carroll Mason and her new husband William T.T. George Duncan and his wife Sarah Duncan for $5,000. The Duncans then sold the house to Mr. Charles Shipley (1814 - ?) through two conveyances,

one on Jan. 11, 1851, the other on Sep. 29, 1852. After Mr. Shipley's death, the estate passed to his widow from which several conveyances led the property to Mr. Philip Lydecker who in 1947 sold the house to the Veterans of Foreign Affairs. In the end, at an unknown date, the Shipley Lydecker House was destroyed. Today the site is occupied by an apartment complex.

Does anyone remember that scene of ghosts dancing in a ballroom on the ride? The decor and time period used in that space is very similar to this!
