Inscription
PHILIP THOMAS SCHLEY. This house was built circa 1840 on the present site of First Presbyterian Church, by Philip Thomas Schley. Capt. Schley came to Columbus in 1834 at the request of his brother, Georgia Gov. William Schley, to command the Muscogee Blues, a militia company active in the Indian Wars.
In 1858 Capt. Schley sold his lot to the Presbyterians and had the house dismantled, moved and rebuilt at this site, 1445 Second Avenue. The house was later owned by the family of James H. Warner, who had been Chief Engineer of the Confederate Naval Iron Works in Columbus. ERECTED BY THE HISTORIC CHATTAHOOCHEE COMMISSION AND THE HISTORIC COLUMBUS FOUNDATION 1987
