Description Condition Check one Check one excellent deteriorated unaltered X original site X good ruins _JL_ altered moved date fair unexposed Describe the present and original (iff known) physical appearance The Tuscunibia Historic District contains 639 properties that represent a diversity of residential, commercial, institutional, recreational buildings and sites associated with over 150 years of development in the city of Tuscumbia. The district is roughly located in an area that incorporates much of the town f s original 1817 street plan. The district includes the 1973 Colbert County Courthouse Square District which detailed 22 buildings, two of which were subsequently torn down, out of approximately 160 that were located in the 20-block area. The Tuscumbia Historic District contains, overall, sixty-five complete blocks and thirty-one partial blocks with streets running in a North-South, East-West grid pattern. The district is bordered on the north by the North Commons, on the east by a small section off East Commons; on the south by Eighth Street, and on the west by Hooks Street and encompasses an area covering approximately 304 acres. There are 461 or 74% of the buildings and sites of domestic, commercial, institutional, industrial and recreational use that are currently contributing or potentially con­ tributing to the character of the district. Of these properties 326 or 51% are currently contributing properties, and 145 or 23% are potentially contributing to the character of the district because of the use of artificial siding, of some type, covering original wall treatment or because of reversible alterations. There are 169 or 26% of the buildings that do not contribute to the character of the district be­ cause of age (less than fifty years) or because of irreversible alterations. Included within the district are two geographical features which have strong associa­ tion with the development of Tuscumbia, these being Spring Park and the North Commons, which is the last undeveloped site representing the original boundary of the town. Located on the Commons is Deshler Stadium (#6) which was constructed in 1941 as a major Works Progress Administration project for Tuscumbia. Domestic architecture found in the district includes several Tidewater-type cottages, which date from the 1820 f s and 1830 f s and are the earliest folk-house type found in the district; Greek Revival, although of very limited number; Queen Anne; Folk Victorian; Bungalow Style as well as Tudor. Also present are examples of houses that do not dis­ play any particular style. The institutional architecture of the district includes the oldest church in the dis­ trict, the 1827 Federal Period, First Presbyterian Church (#344) and St. John's Episcopal Church (#183). St. John's Episcopal Church, completed in 1852, is an example of Carpenter Gothic found in the district and is the oldest known religious building displaying this style in Alabama. Almost at the center of the district is the Court­ house Square, which has been the site of the Colbert County Courthouse since 1881. The present courthouse (#247), built in 1909, utilized the brick walls of the fire-gutted 1881 courthouse and displays an Ionic portico and distinctive clock tower. The commercial area of the district includes several of the oldest known commercial buildings in Alabama. These are the Morgan-Donilan Building (#326), a simple 2^ story brick building constructed in 1825, and a group of seven contiguous, two-story brick commercial buildings (which were built in the mid-1830's) known as "Commercial Row."

Tuscumbia first served as county seat after Colbert County was created in February 1867 until its abolishment by the State Constitutional Convention of November 1867. In December of 1869 Colbert County was again created by the Legislature and Tuscumbia has served as county seat from that time on. Since 1881 the block on which the present (1909) courthouse is located has been the site of the Colbert County Courthouse. Criterion B - Politics/Government The Tuscumbia Historic District is significant for its association with several govern­ ment and political figures of. city, county and state significance who have lived within its boundaries. These figures include!Robert Burns Lindsayt Alabama's only foreign- born governor, who was elected as a Conservative Democrat in 1870 over Republican William Smith. \Edward B. Almon (is another figure of political significance who lived in the district, having served in the State Senate, was Speaker of the Alabama House and served as 'a Circuit Judge. Almon was also a member of the U. S. House of Represen­ tatives and was instrumental in the development of the Federal Highway System, the con­ struction of Wilson Dam and the Nitrate Plants at Muscle Shoals, and in the creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Other political and government figures who have lived within the district include: \Archie Carmichael '(#576) who served as a state legislator, was a candidate for governor in 1926, and succeeded E. B. Almon in the U. S. Congress; I John Anthony Steelej(#88), who served as Colbert County Probate Judge, as a member of the state legislature and as a member of the Secession Convention of 1861;{William Cooper](#487) who was also a member of the Secession Convention of 1861 and was appointed by Gov. A. B. Moore in December 1860 as a special commissioner to the state of Missouri, to advise that state on its actions regarding secession;)Charles Womble (#246) who was the first Probate Judge of Colbert County;\William R. JulianJ who served as Colbert County's first sheriff; and (Philip G. Godley |(#169) who served as Tuscumbia's first mayor. Criterion C - Architecture The Tuscumbia Historic District is significant for its architecture, both domestic and commercial, which represents a sweep of styles and types spanning a period of over one hundred years. The district contains a diverse collection of domestic architecture that ranges from the Tidewater-type cottages which are the oldest houses in the district. These houses illustrate the influence of early house types transplanted from the upper seaboard southern states of Maryland and Virginia, an area from where most of Tuscumbia's early settlers immigrated. Greek Revival, although of very limited influence on the (continued on continuation sheeti 9. Major Bibliographical References See continuation sheet. 10.

  • A Brief History of South Fayetteville – by J
    A Brief History of South Fayetteville – by J. B. Hogan The area of town known as South Fayetteville has a long and interesting history. Most of us know South Fayetteville as the poor side of town, which it has been for nearly all of our history. This is the working class section of Fayetteville, with small, older homes, little corner groceries and neighborhood schools (all of the latter two now nearly defunct). But it wasn’t always where the less affluent citizens of Fayetteville lived – far from it. Much of South Fayetteville, in fact, belonged to one man: arguably the most famous person to ever live here: the second Governor of the State of Arkansas, Archibald Yell. Archibald Yell isn’t just a bypass through the middle of town, he was a living, breathing politician, lawyer and military hero. Yell gained notoriety and the lasting appreciation of Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, through his military exploits in the War of 1812 and other conflicts in the early years of the nineteenth century. It was President Jackson who gave Yell his first positions in the Arkansas Territory and Yell was also close friends with President James K. Polk, another favorite of Andrew Jackson. After starting in Little Rock in late 1831, by 1834 Yell had moved to Fayetteville – early enough to qualify him as a founding father if not a first settler of our town. Yell was smart with his income and bought up lots of land around town, eventually owning some 900 acres of prime real estate. 500-600 of those acres were in what is now known as South Fayetteville.
