Körner’s Folly

Jule Gilmer Körner, an interior designer, decorator and painter, began building what he intended to be a showplace and temporary home in 1878. The design caused a cousin to call the house “Jule Körner’s folly.” Körner liked the moniker and began having his house called by that title, even having it set in tile outside the front door.

The house has 22 rooms on three floors and seven levels. Ceiling heights range from 6 to 25 feet, and it is said that no two doorways are the same. In 1897, the upper floor was renovated and turned into a theater known as Cupid’s Park. It was said to have been the first private little theater in America.

Körner’s Folly offers tours, theatrical productions and community events throughout the year.
