Homes Open for Tour
Built in 1826 in a Federal Architectural Style with the portico and Victorian glass fan light probably being added in the 1890s. The garden is surrounded by hundred year-old Boxwood Gardens with accompanying perennial flowers and shrubs. The home is unique for its still intact out buildings. The Well House, Doctor’s Office, and Smoke House are in excellent condition; according to the Alabama Historic Commission the existence of out buildings is rare and these structures are in incredible shape.
Construction began in 1927 and completed in 1945. The construction was slowed during the Great Depression and completely halted during World War II, when only goods for military use were produced. The home was designed by Carolyn Cortner Smith, one of Alabama’s first female architects. The home has the charm and accoutrements of a 19th Century home with beautiful heart of pine floors and an impressive open foyer.
Designed and constructed based upon a 1790’s Salem Reproduction Home. The home displays family antiques in large open spaces. The renovations included installing heart of pine floors and the current owner’s twist on living in a newer home in an established historic town. The home was used in the Disney movie, “Tom and Huck.”
