Ellis-Shackelford House
Ellis-Shackelford House

The Ellis-Shackelford House, also known during its history as the Dr. Ellis House and the Central Arizona Museum, is located at 1242 N. Central Ave. in Phoenix, Arizona. The house is important in history of Central Avenue Corridor and its Billionaire's Row and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to being one of the remaining unaltered North Central Avenue mansions. The house was built in a bungalow/craftsman style 1917 and designed by architect R.A. Gray, who is best known for having designed St. Mary's Church, and was built by contractor Tom Weatherford. It was listed as part of a study of historic resources in the Roosevelt neighborhood which compared the popularity of the Spanish Colonial Revival style with that of the Craftsman Bungalow. William Ellis moved to Phoenix from Ohio in 1907 and worked as Chief of the Medical Staff of what was then Arizona Deaconess Hospital. He had the house built about a mile from his offices for Reba, his second wife, and his daughter Helen. Ellis's daughter and her husband, J. Gordon Shackelford, for whom the house is also named, called the house home until 1964 and Shackelford added a dentist's office to the property in 1947. Subsequently, the property became a boys' home before becoming home to the Arizona Historical Society and its offices and the Phoenix Trolley Museum in what was the dental office. The home underwent a nine-month renovation in 2012-2013, and as of 2024, the building is owned by the city of Phoenix and is home to Arizona Humanities, the state National Endowment for the Humanities affiliate. In 2016, Amy Ellis Shackelford, great-great granddaughter of William Ellis, became the fourth generation in her family to celebrate a wedding at the house when she married Aaron Aguirre on March 12.
