Steps from the Farmer’s Market
This striking Victorian home built in 1892 and located near downtown Monticello. The home features original hardwood pine floors, soaring 12-foot ceilings, a large bay window with bench seating (and storage) and several fireplaces. The master bathroom has been completely redone and complements the spacious master bedroom. The exterior of the home has a wraparound front deck, a rear screened porch, a spacious detached workshop with electricity and fully fenced grounds. The home will need renovation and repair, but it is a beauty.
The Victorian home at 490 E Palmer Mill Rd is known as the Haile House because it was built around 1893 as a wedding gift for Margaret Turnbull Haile and her husband, William Edward Haile.
The name reflects the prominent local families involved in its history:
- A Father’s Gift: The house was commissioned by Margaret’s father, Junius Turnbull, for the newly married couple. The Turnbulls were one of Monticello’s founding families; Margaret’s grandfather, Dr. Theodore Turnbull, was a well-known local physician.
- Distinction from other “Haile” Sites: While it shares a name with the famous Historic Haile Homestead (the “Talking Walls” house) in Gainesville, this specific property is a distinct 2,467-square-foot Victorian residence located in Monticello’s historic area.
- The Palmer Mill Connection: The street itself is named after the Palmer family, another influential local dynasty of physicians and druggists who owned significant property in this part of town.
