It's the majestic "big white house on the hill" on Evansville's eastside and is a fabulous opportunity for a new owner. A community landmark known to everyone, this 5-bedroom, 4+ bath estate was originally built by Arthur Cameron, a local oil baron. The Cameron Estate is situated overlooking Lincoln Ave, nestled on the tree-filled hill behind Bethel Temple and offers beautiful views from the home. The house has been reported as resting on one of the highest points in the city and at one time could be seen from a mile in any direction. Boasting formal living with fireplace, hardwood floor and built-in bookcases, dining room, huge family room with fireplace, office, bonus room, sun room and rec room with fireplace, this home offers room for every member of your family and affords great entertaining space. There are lots of windows and glassed doors throughout to take advantage of the view and all the rooms are large. The master bedroom suite includes a full bath, and three other bedrooms also have their own full bath. There are architectural details throughout including niches, specialty ceilings and curved stairways. Some further history on the home includes that Cameron was married at the time to the 1930s B-movie actress June Knight. They installed floor-to-ceiling picture windows on the back, known as "Hollywood windows". Cameron was also married to movie starlet Kay Aldridge (called "one of the most photographed women in the country in the 1930s" by The New York Times) who lived in the house for a few months before the couple sold it to move to Beverly Hills.
