The James Duffy House. Outstanding-rated Italianate style Victorian architecture in Port Fulton area. Built ca. 1860 for prominent local businessman who controlled coal shipments along this stretch of the Ohio River, among other business pursuits. Local tradition holds that boat builders from the nearby Howard Shipyards built the house, as it resembles a steamboat. Property designated a local landmark. Exterior changes subject to approval by both Jeffersonville Historic Preservation Commission and Indiana Landmarks, which holds preservation covenants on the property. Views of the Ohio River and Louisville skyline from second floor. Zoned R1. Application for tax exempt status has been filed, so there may not be taxes to pro-rate. New roof and rebuilt box gutters and side porch.
3 Bed ∙ 2 Bath ∙ 3,556 Sq Ft ∙ 0.5 Ac.
