Historic fashion sense in SoIn Seeing Christopher Fryer’s photos of Greystone Gables, the ornate mansion in New Albany’s Silver Hills, took my breath away. So many treasures can be found in Southern Indiana. The Tudor-style gem will be on display June 6 along with artwork from Jason Thomas, Editor former Silver Hills resident and Indiana pioneer artist George W. Morrison in an event sponsored by the Silver Hills Historical Society, as highlighted in Daniel Suddeath’s cover story. Hopefully the home tour and art exhibit will raise awareness about Silver Hills and its important place in Southern Indiana’s history. Very few people have toured Greystone Gables, so the June 6 event is a unique opportunity to stroll through history — a lot of which is fading from our

reetings News and Tribune readers. Now that your eyes have stumbled upon my little column, allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Peyton Schmidt and I have been crowned as the official fashion columnist for your SoIn section. That being said, let me give you a brief introduction as to who the heck I am and what you can expect to see in my future columns. For all you skeptics out there looking for a background check: I once slayed a shark with nothing but a ballpoint pen in my Louboutin pumps as I gracefully sipped my low-cal vanilla latté while keeping my red lipstick perfectly intact. Kidding. I have never actually slayed a shark nor do I take my vanilla latté low-cal (where’s the fun in that?). Instead, I am that petite, freckled college student who leaves the frat party early so she can slip into her

matching button-up pajamas, brew some green tea and organize her Pinterest board. Along with being a firm believer in strong coffee, a nice pair of heels and good lipstick, I also believe in Coco Chanel’s famous quote: “A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.”
I have always known I wanted to be an editor of a fashion magazine, even at a young age. Whether it was wearing my mom’s expensive dresses and stumbling around the house in her kitten heels or sitting on the floor of her closet flipping through countless stacks of her fashion magazines, fashion is something I have always been passionate about. In future columns, you can expect to read about Southern Indiana’s fashion trends, what to wear to local festivals and events and other helpful fashion tips. Also, you can follow me on Twitter @peytonschmidtt to keep up with my extraordinary ordinary life.

Culture combinatio Morrison art exhibit, Greystone Gables tour set for June 6 in Silver Hills BY DANIEL SUDDEATH daniel.suddeath@newsandtribune.com EW ALBANY — Artist George W. Morrison painted his historic view of New Albany from Silver Hills, where he lived just a few blocks from the Greystone Gables mansion. On June 6, the Silver Hills Historical Society is combining the beauty of Morrison’s works with the majesty of Greystone Gables, which is valued at $1.6 million. There will be an exhibit of original Morrison works along with a tour of Greystone Gables, which is home for Woody and Georgia Oakes. The couple moved into the mansion about three years ago. “I was so in love with the property,” said Georgia in a description of the circa-1929 home and land that once featured a tennis court where Silver Hills residents would gather for matches and fellowship. Located at 404 Highland Ave., the mansion was built for Col. E.V. Knight, who was the owner of New Albany Veneering Co. The home includes seven bedrooms, original wood casement windows and plaster ceilings. While many recognize the home, few have actually been inside the mansion in recent years. As for Morrison, he died in 1893 at the age of 73 at his Silver Hills home. He’s one of the many people, places and stories related to Silver Hills that are worth saving in terms of historical acknowledgment, said Kelly Carnighan. Carnighan, director of the Silver Hills Historical Society. The organization launched in 2012 to bring attention to the legacy of Silver Hills, which is included in New Albany but once was an autonomous community featuring its own trolley line.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 “As the generations move on, and pass on, the stories and the history are just kind of fading away,” Carnighan said. The society hosts two events a year, and boasts 127 members. With Morrison having lived just a few blocks from Greystone Gables, Carnighan said hosting a combination of a home tour and art showcase is a natural fit. Morrison “painted just about every prominent individual in New Albany at one time or another,” Carnighan said. Greystone Gables was featured on the cover of the 2012 book “Distinctive Houses of Louisville,” but hasn’t been featured on a home tour in recent years. The Oakes said they are excited about the opportunity to open the doors of their home to the public. “It’s really amazing to me how many

More on the mansion
Col. E.V. Knight was originally from Knightstown, Ind. He arrived in New Albany around 1901 and was involved with the formation of the Indiana Veneer & Panel Co., which was the first furniture veneering (plywood) company in the nation. As the popularity of veneered furniture grew, Knight left I. V. & P. Co. and in 1907 formed the New Albany Veneering Co. at East 13th and McBeth streets. Initially he employed only about 100 men, but with a contract from a Chicago company in 1926 to supply all the plywood for its Majestic radio cabinets, employment grew to almost 1,200: The New Albany Veneering Co. had become the largest producer of furniture plywood in the world.
Col. Knight married Katherine DePauw, granddaughter of local industrialist and philanthropist Washington C. DePauw, in 1907. The couple built a very large, American foursquarestyle home at 1217 E. Main St. in 1912 and lived there until their Silver Hills estate was finished in 1929. Silver Hills was one of New Albany’s earliest and most prestigious suburbs, developed primarily after streetcar service was extended to the area in 1890. Greystone Gables — the name is carved into the limestone pillars at the entry gates — was designed by New Albany architect and Silver Hills resident, William C. Findt Sr., and built by local contractor Earle Embrey. — HistoricNewAlbany.com
