Decatur station (Southern Railway)

Decatur station is a former train station in Decatur, Alabama. The depot was built in 1904–05 along the Southern Railway line. Decatur had become a transportation hub of North Alabama by the 1870s, with its connections to the Tennessee River, the east–west Tuscumbia, Courtland and Decatur Railroad (later operated by the Memphis and Charleston Railroad and the Southern Railway), and the north–south Louisville and Nashville Railroad. The Southern's last train through the city was the Tennessean (Memphis-Washington, D.C., discontinued, 1968). The last train by the L&N, and the train with the last route going south toward Alabama's largest cities, was the Pan-American, (Cincinnati-New Orleans) which ended in 1971. Other L&N trains passing through were the Azalean (Cincinnati-New Orleans) and the Humming Bird (Cincinnati-New Orleans). The depot last functioned as a passenger station in 1979, when Amtrak cancelled its (Chicago-St. Petersburg / Miami) Floridian service. The station is built of brick painted white, with quoins on the corners. The building has a rectangular central section with narrower wings stretching along the tracks. The central section has a hipped roof, while the wings have gable roofs; both have deep eaves with decorative brackets. The main entrance is covered by a porte-cochère with arched openings. The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. References
Public Square Historic District (Scottsboro, Alabama)

The Public Square Historic District is a historic district in Scottsboro, Alabama, United States. Although Scottsboro had been the county seat of Jackson County since 1870, the town's earliest commercial development was centered on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad line, one block north of the square. After an 1881 fire along the rail line, some businesses began to rebuild around the square. Once the Tennessee Valley Authority brought prosperity to the region in the 1930s, development around the courthouse began to accelerate. The current Jackson County Courthouse was built in 1912 with matching Classical Revival porticos on two sides. Commercial buildings around the square are one or two stories and all of brick. While most are built in simple, lightly decorated commercial styles, some late 19th-century buildings have Victorian detailing. The district was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1981 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. References
Randolph Street Church of Christ

The Randolph Street Church of Christ is a historic church in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built in 1887 in a Gothic Revival style similar to rural churches, but built of brick. Rather than a central entrance, the tower contains doors under pointed toplights on the sides, and a double lancet window joined under a pointed arch. Another set of lancets flanks the tower. On the corners of the façade and along the side walls are pilasters, dividing the sides into bays with one set of lancets each. The eaves of the gable are corbelled. Above the eaves, the tower is faced with tin, and each side has a pair of arched vents below a small gable. A modern spire and weather vane top the tower. The church sits half a block from Courthouse Square, adjacent to the rear of the Milligan Block. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. References
Robert Beaty Historic District

The Robert Beaty Historic District is a historic district in Athens, Alabama. Robert Beaty was one of the original founders of Athens. An Irish immigrant who settled in Virginia, Beaty and his associates purchased 160 acres (65 ha) around a spring, and began subdividing the land for sale in 1818. A small village of log structures had formed by 1826, and began to be replaced by permanent homes over the next decade. Beaty's own house was completed in Federal style in 1826. William Richardson, whose son William, Jr., served in the U.S. House of Representatives, completed his home the following year. The district contains 86 contributing properties representing architectural styles including Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, Eastlake, Victorian, and Spanish Colonial Revival.

Sulphur Trestle Fort Site

The Sulphur Trestle Fort Site is a historic Civil War battle site near Elkmont, Alabama. The fort was the site of the Battle of Sulphur Creek Trestle on September 25, 1864. After defeating Union Army forces and recapturing Athens, Alabama, Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest moved north to attempt to destroy a key railroad trestle. The trestle was defended by a fortification manned by 1000 Union soldiers. Forrest's troops easily defeated the Union forces and burned the trestle. Today, about 400 yards (370 m) of trenches dug around the outside of the fort's parapet remain. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. References
Woodside (Belle Mina, Alabama)

Woodside was a historic residence in Belle Mina, Alabama. The land on which the house was built was originally part of Alabama Governor Thomas Bibb's estate, Belle Mina. Thomas' son, Porter Bibb, built Woodside in 1861 for his daughter, Mary Chambers Bibb. The two houses stood one-half mile (1 km) apart. Woodside was a two-story Greek Revival house, originally with a central, double-height portico that was extended to the full width of the façade in the early 1900s. The house has a center-hall plan, with two rooms on either side of a hallway on both floors. The rear of the house was originally a pair of one-story wings, but a second story was added in an early 20th-century renovation. Greek Revival details continued inside the house, such as mantels and architrave-framed panels in the stairwell. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Woodside was destroyed by a fire in late November 2022. References

George Coulter House

The George Coulter House (also known as Mapleton) is a historic house located at 420 South Pine Street in Florence, Alabama. Description and history The house was built in about 1827 by George Coulter, a planter, lawyer, and soldier originally from Middle Tennessee. During the Civil War, the house was used as a command post by Union Army Colonel John Marshall Harlan, partially due to its location on a hillside overlooking downtown and the Tennessee River. The house was later owned by W. W. Slaton, who renovated the house in the late 1940s, adding a wing that was originally used as medical offices. The frame house is designed in Federal style, with Adamesque woodwork throughout the interior. Narrow two-level porticoes with Tuscan order columns on the north and south faces were replaced in the 1940s by porticoes with a pair of square columns and a central balcony. The original brick kitchen was formerly connected to the house via a covered breezeway which has since been enclosed. The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1979, and the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1982. References

Forks of Cypress Cemetery

Forks of Cypress Cemetery (also known as Jackson Cemetery) is a historic cemetery near Florence, Alabama. The cemetery contains the graves of Forks of Cypress owner James Jackson, several members of his family, and numerous slaves who worked on the plantation. Jackson, an immigrant from County Monaghan , Ireland, purchased the estate in 1821 and built the main house during the same year. The cemetery was established in 1819; the oldest interment, dating from 1820, is Jane Hanna. Occasionally, tours are hosted at the cemetery. Description The cemetery is situated on 5 acres (2 ha) about 1000 feet (300 m) from the site of the main house. It is divided into the Jackson family plot, which is surrounded by a 4-foot (1.2-meter) tall stone wall, and the African-American section which contains graves of enslaved people who worked the plantation and later tenant farmers. Antebellum markers are the most elaborate, showing influences from popular residential architectural styles such as Greek Revival and Classical Revival. Most were made of gray limestone or marble and were variations of obelisks. Later monuments are primarily of granite, and are smaller, in deference either architecturally to the more elaborate markers that preceded them, or to the ancestral founders of the family. Two African-American slave jockeys are buried inside the family plot wall, showing the importance to Jackson of his stable of race horses. The African American section of the cemetery is the resting place of over 250 of the plantation's enslaved workers, as well as many of their free descendants. The graves, mostly unmarked, represent one of the largest African-American cemeteries in the region. Author Alex Haley's great-grandmother, Easter, is buried in the cemetery. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts

Das Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts ist ein Kunstmuseum in Montgomery, Alabama. Es wurde 1930 gegründet und zeigt Amerikanische und regionale Kunst, sowie Drucke Alter Meister und dekorative Kunst. Geschichte Das Museum wurde 1930 unter dem Namen Alabama Society of Fine Arts von lokalen Künstlern und Förderern gegründet. Bis 1959 war das Museum in dem alten Gebäude der Lawrence Street School in der Innenstadt Montgomerys untergebracht. Von diesem Zeitpunkt ab teilte sich das Museum ein Gebäude mit der City-County Public Library. Es wurde von der Alabama Society of Fine Arts privat geführt und stütze sich vor allem auf Mitgliedsbeiträge und private Spenden. 1960 wurde das Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts von der Stadt übernommen und eine Abteilung für Bildung eingerichtet, die vor allem Programme und Aktivitäten für Kinder anbietet. Das Museum strukturierte 1971 seine Sammlung um, die bis dahin auch historische und archäologische Objekte umfasste, und konzentrierte sich auf Kunstwerke. Seit 1983 übernimmt das Montgomery County einen Teil der Kosten. 1988 wechselte das Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts erneut das Gebäude. Die Stadt und das Museum hatten mehr als sechs Millionen Dollar für den Bau aufgebracht und Spenden gesammelt, so dass das neue Museumsgebäude im Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park entstand. Es wurde am 18. September 1988 eröffnet. Sammlung Die Sammlung umfasst drei Abteilungen: Amerikanische Kunst, Drucke Alter Meister und dekorative Kunst. Beispiele für Kunstwerke der Abteilung Amerikanische Kunst sind Landschaften von Thomas Moran und Frederic Edwin Church, sowie Porträts aus der Kolonialzeit von Charles Willson Peale und John Singleton Copley. Daneben können Besucher moderne Kunstwerke von Künstlern wie Stuart Davis und Edward Hopper sehen. Viele dieser Kunstwerke stammen aus einer Schenkung von Winton M. Blount.

Église baptiste de la 16e rue

L’église baptiste de la 16e rue (anglais : Sixteenth Street Baptist Church) est une église baptiste de Birmingham dans l'État de l'Alabama aux États-Unis, affiliée à la Convention baptiste nationale progressiste. Histoire L'église est fondée en 1873 sous le nom de First Colored Baptist Church of Birmingham. En 1880, elle déménage à son emplacement actuel, sur la 16e rue. En 1893, elle compte 450 membres. Durant le Mouvement des droits civiques, l'église fut un des quartiers généraux du mouvement et un lieu de rassemblement des manifestations des noirs contre le racisme institutionnalisé dans la ville. Les révérends Fred Shuttlesworth, le chef organisateur local du mouvement et Martin Luther King prenaient fréquemment la parole dans cette église. Le dimanche 15 septembre 1963, elle fut la cible d'un attentat à la bombe perpétré par des membres du Ku Klux Klan, attentat qui tua quatre jeunes filles (Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley et Denise McNair) et en blessa vingt-deux autres. Cet attentat fut l'un des quarante cinq attentats à la bombe qui, durant une décennie, viseront les leaders et les lieux du mouvement des droits civiques ou des noirs qui habitaient dans des quartiers que les suprémacistes estimaient réservés à la population blanche. L'enterrement de trois des quatre fillettes fut suivi par plus de 8 000 personnes, noirs et blancs mais par aucun officiel de la ville. Cet attentat choqua le pays et eut un fort écho dans le monde. Il entraina un plus fort engagement du pouvoir fédéral et facilita les lois sur les droits civiques (Voting Rights Act) que le président Johnson fit voter l'année suivante. En 2002, Arthur Price, Jr. devient le pasteur principal. L'église est désignée National Historic Landmark en 2006[réf. nécessaire].
