Once the site of Cady’s Livery Stable, this building was called “The Horse Mansion”. A few months after the Civil War ended, Columbus was placed under martial law enforced by Union Soldiers. Former Confederate General William B. Wade and a Union soldier got into an argument at the stable. Wade killed the soldier in the shoot-out and was later murdered by one of the soldier’s friends. The current building was built around 1900 and was at one time home of Woolworth’s Five and Dime and Gunter and Brothers Funeral Home. The building is said to have many spirits from the past.
