Cairo was once a thriving riverboat town with gorgeous mansions along Millionaire’s Row. Today, the town has fallen on hard times and crime stats are high. Even so, if a buyer has the moxie, this house could be a great one to restore. Washington Avenue (Millionaire’s Row) is where you will find gorgeous turn-of-the-century homes built by the most prominent citizens of the day. The Thomas Halliday House, a gorgeous brick Italianate built by a former Cairo mayor, is a short walk down Washington Avenue, and many other wonderful large homes and mansions line the once-upscale street.

Family History

Our featured home was owned by Walter Adolph Krebs (1874-1946), a lumber merchant, and his wife Della White Krebs (1876-1936). They lived with their son Walter Jr, Della’s brother William White, also a lumber merchant, and a servant. Walter Sr. was also vice president of the Cairo Auto Club.
