The place

The Ordeman–Shaw Historic District is a historic district in Montgomery, Alabama. It is centered on the Ordeman–Shaw House, which construction started on as early as 1846 and was completed in 1850 by Charles Ordeman, a German immigrant architect. Ordeman was appointed city surveyor, and built a number of buildings in Montgomery, including the county courthouse. He used his profits to install gas lighting throughout the city, but overextended himself on the venture and left town by 1854.
