ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Jouett Shouse

Okay kiddo, let me explain what a Jouett Shouse is.

Have you ever seen a big house with lots and lots of rooms in it? Well, sometimes people used to build really big houses a long time ago, and they would call them mansions.

One man named Jouett Shouse had a mansion built for him in the 1920s. This mansion was very, very big and had lots of cool things in it like a swimming pool, a movie theater, and even an elevator!

After Jouett Shouse passed away, his family didn't want to keep the mansion anymore, so they decided to sell it.

Today, people still talk about the Jouett Shouse because it is a reminder of what life was like for rich people a long time ago.
