Property Description
Original architectural details are found throughout, including beautiful hardwood floors, substantial millwork, soaring ceilings, two staircases and an ornate period fireplace with decorative masonry and an antique cast-iron insert.
The home's story continued with the Yarbrough family, creating another distinctly Carthage connection. Charles T. Yarbrough was an executive with the historic Carthage Marble Corporation, and during the Yarbrough era the residence was enhanced with extraordinary natural stonework. Today, the home showcases extensive polished stone flooring, a dramatic black-veined marble fireplace surround and richly banded translucent onyx, distinctive materials with ties to an industry that helped make Carthage famous.
While preserving its historic character, the current owners have continued thoughtfully improving the home with updated electrical outlets throughout numerous rooms, new lighting, interior painting, new siding in 2025, a new water heater in 2025, new exterior lighting, a new back door, screen door, updated bathroom fixtures and more. The attic has also been framed for a potential fourth bedroom, with electrical run and partial insulation completed.
Richly colored rooms, grand gathering spaces and architectural details rarely found in modern construction make this home unlike anything being built today.
From its Victorian origins to its connection with Carthage's celebrated marble industry, this isn't simply an older home, it is a home that tells the story of Carthage.
After more than 125 years, the Dr. Post House is ready for its next steward.
