NAVILLE - HUTH HOUSE

Built around 1900 by Albert and Carrie (Best) Naville, this timeless farmhouse has stood as a quiet witness to over a century of family, tradition, and community in Floyds Knobs. On April 18, 1927, the home was purchased by John Huth as an 18th birthday gift for his future wife, Clara – a romantic gesture that began a new chapter of love and legacy. Since that day, the home has remained in the Huth family, lovingly cared for and passed down through generations for nearly 100 years.

Now, for the first time since 1927, the Naville-Huth House is being offered to the public – a rare opportunity to become part of its storied history.

Pictured in front of the home are members of the Naville family: (from left to right) Lucille (Naville) Gerdeman, Albert Naville, Carrie Naville (seated in the car), and Sylvan Naville.
