The Shelley House was the focus of the 1948 United States Supreme Court case "Shelley v. Kraemer", which ruled that judicial enforcement by state courts of racially restrictive covenants violated the Constitution. The 1906 duplex in St. Louis, Missouri was designated a National Historic Landmark on December 14, 1990.
