Historical Sites: Misc.
Item 1: B/W photo labeled “Vernacular House” in Gainesville, Ala.
Item 2: Four-page document with descriptions of various historical sites:
- The Cedars – This unique antebellum plantation home
located near Sumterville was built in 1848 by John Evander Brown. The
two-story front porch is supported by four small square wooden columns on
each level. There are thirteen rooms and the entire house was built of
longleaf pine. The house received its name from the 500 cedars Brown
brought from Jones’ Bluff and set out around the house.
- Kring Coffin House – The one-story frame building
was built around 1840. it was probably built by Edward N. Kring who was
Gainesville’s coffin maker and undertaker. The scalloped wooden trim
outlining the front gable is its most distinctive feature and it is an
example of the decorative trim that probably adorned many other structures
in Gainesville that have not survived.
- Calloway School – This one-room frame schoolhouse
was constructed in 1917 on the Emelle to Livingston road. A curriculum
stressing the three “R’s” was offered for a period of about ten years.
The school was closed in 1927 as the result of school consolidation. For
the next fifty years, the building served as a residence with the large
single room divided into several smaller rooms. It was moved to the
Livingston University campus in March 1977, and it will be restored to its
original floor plan and will be used as a local museum.
- Little Brick Holiness Church – This church located
in Cuba was built of hand-made brick by J.K. Wedgeworth who operated the
Wedgeworth Pottery. It has a brick alter designed by Mr. Wedgeworth and
several other interesting masonry features. It was built by the church
members in the late 1920’s, and its first pastor was Mrs. Lizzie Rew.
- Old Probate Office – This small one-story brick
building is located on the southwest corner of the courthouse square and
was constructed in the late 1830’s. There are six arched windows, some
with the original panes, and the windows and front door have solid metal
shutters. The interior has recently been renovated for use by the Sumter
County Board of Commissioners after serving as the office of the probate
judge and more recently as a public library.
- Old Covered Bridge – This covered bridge was
originally constructed in 1861 by Captain William Alexander Campbell Jones
to span the Sucarnoochee River south of Livingston. In 1924 the bridge
was moved five miles to the Alamuchee Creek, and in 1971, it was moved to
its present location spanning a small pond on the Livingston University
Campus. It was constructed of heart yellow pine and it is one of the
sixteen covered bridges in Alabama and one of the very few located this
far South.
- Sumter County Courthouse – This two-story masonry
and stone courthouse was built in 1902 replacing a frame structure that
burned in 1901. Its unique architectural style was influenced by
Beaux-Arts Classicism. This style is reflected by the four sets of
coupled Ionic engaged columns spaced symmetrically along the second-floor
façade of the central mass, the obvious delineation of the central mass
from the two wings, and the elaborate profusion of trim and the overall
symmetry. Although the interior has recently been remodeled and
renovated, the exterior has not been altered. It is listed on the
National Registry of Historic Places.
- Webb hall – His three-story brick structure is
located on the campus of Livingston University. It was built in 1915 with
the north wing being added in 1926. It is the oldest building on the
University campus, and its’ double front portico is supported by eight
fluted sonic columns. It has served the University as a women’s
dormitory, student union and bookstore, and it is presently being
renovated as an administration building with a completion date set for
early spring 1978.
- Bethel Chapel – This sturdy brick Presbyterian
chapel is located near Sumterville at the intersection of county routes 24
and 74. The present Gothic structure was built in 1908 on the site of the
original church. Marble plaques are located on the wall behind the pulpit
listing the Confederate dead from the area. The minute books of the
church date back to 1835 and provide a concise history of the church and
Sumter County in the nineteenth century. There is an interesting cemetery
in the churchyard containing the graves of several of the founders of the
original church.
- Fort Tombecbe Site – In 1734-1736 a fort was
constructed at this site, Jones’ Bluff, on the Tombigbee River near Epes
by the French. The wooden and earthen fortification was built on orders
from the French governor at Mobile, Bienville. A small French garrison
was maintained at the fort through the end of the French and Indian War.
In October, 1764, the British occupied the site and renamed the fort, Fort
York, and it was later abandoned by the British in 167. In 1794 the
Spanish built a fortification on this site and named it Fort
Confederation, and this post was abandoned in 1797. In 1816 a Federal
trading post, the Choctaw Trading House, was opened by George Strother
Gaines, but it was eventually closed in 1821although a private trading
company carried on trade with the nearby Choctaws for several years. It
is listed on the National Registry of Historical Places.
- Farview – This lovely two-story frame house is
located near Sumterville. It has a central two-story portico supported by
four massive square columns and a second story balcony without visible
supports. It features a double front door with side-lights and transom.
The house was built by William Frierson Fulton in 1835 who was an early
leader in Sumter County and an organizer of the Bethel Presbyterian
Chapel.
- McMillian & Company, Bankers. The original bank was
established in 1891, and the present building was completed in 1973. This
building is of a traditional styling with Williamsburg influences. It is
a prime example of the compatibility of traditional design with the needs
and demands of modern society.
- Sparkman Office Building. This two-story frame
structure was built as a residence in the late 1830’s. It has a unique
five sided entrance porch and four front windows and sidelights. The
house was rolled back 15 feet several years ago because of street noise.
It has recently been converted into an office building, and it is a
perfect example of the adaptive use of a historic structure.
- “Offices of the Tavern” – This house is all that
remains of the Choctaw Tavern built in 1832-1833 at the corner of
Washington and Marshall streets in Livingston. This building was
originally part of the ell that extended down Marshall Street from the
two-story main structure that fronted on Washington Street. It faced the
courthouse square and was part of a row of one room offices known as “the
offices to the Tavern”. The Tavern was torn down and rebuilt on the same
block facing Madison Street by the Methodist Church several years ago to
be used as Sunday School rooms. Recently the building was restored and
modernized as an office and residence by Representative Frank Campbell.
- Clay Memorial Cemetery – This cemetery was dedicated
in 1881 on land donated by R.A. Clay, an early settler in Cuba. The town
of Cuba provides perpetual care and is assisted by the Cuba Study Club in
making improvements.
- Cuba Baptist Church – This church was built in 1877
to replace a log building on this site. The sanctuary is the original
structure with its hand-hewn timbers that are twelve to fifteen inches
wide. It was originally divided by a partition, the height of the pews,
separating the men and women who also used separate entrances. The
decorative trim on the gables of the main structure is an attractive
feature.
- Beavers Home – This lovely ante-bellum home near
Cuba was started in 1845. The peak of the house is something like a
“captain’s walk” which at one time was a cupola and served as a dental
office. The home is in the process of restoration.
- Davis Home. This attractive one and an half story
frame house is located in York. The original part of the house has
hand-hewn timbers on the walls, floors, and ceilings. It has severed as a
school building and as a boarding house.
- Gainesville Presbyterian Church. This splendid
white frame ante-bellum church was built in 1837-1838. It features a
double entrance flanked by Doric pilasters, four tall windows down each
side of the church with green shutters, and a slave gallery which runs
along three sides of the sanctuary.
