Janney Furnace Park

Eli Henderson Park at Janney Furnace is a park surrounding a fifty-foot tall stone furnace in Ohatchee, Alabama, United States. The furnace was built in 1863 by Alfred Janney to produce pig iron due to the prevalence of iron ore in what is now the park. A July 1864 Union raid destroyed all but the stone chimney, which still remains. The furnace is now surrounded by the Calhoun County Confederate Memorial, built by Sons of Confederate Veterans in June 2003; and the 2009 Confederate and Native American Museum, which includes Civil War and Native American artifacts dating back to the Iron Age. The Confederate Memorial is the world's largest black granite confederate memorial. The furnace was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and the surrounding park was re-named in honor of Eli Henderson in 2020, who sought to preserve it.

Limestone Correctional Facility

Limestone Correctional Facility is an Alabama Department of Corrections state prison for men located in Harvest, Limestone County, Alabama. Opened in October 1984 and with a capacity of 2086 prisoners, Limestone is the largest prison in the Alabama state system. This institution is classified as a maximum security correctional facility. As of March 2024, the prison was 15% over capacity at 2,398 inmates. Limestone and the Julia Tutwiler Prison for Women were the two Alabama state prisons in which HIV positive inmates were segregated, a practice that Alabama and South Carolina claimed stopped the spread of the virus and lowered overall medical costs. On December 21, 2012, U.S. District Court Justice Myron Herbert Thompson found that the segregation violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The prison operates a farming and cattle operation on its surrounding 1,600 acres (650 ha) of land. Limestone has garnered media attention in the past several years for various controversies, including documented abuse and mistreatment of individuals in their custody, dilapidated and unsafe facilities, staff shortages, and corruption among leadership. Among these also include accusations of organ harvesting, as families of people who have died while incarcerated have discovered their loved ones missing various organs. Notable Inmates Jeremy LaShun Williams - Murdered Brioni “Bree” Jamaal Rutland on November 26, 2013. Was convicted of intentional murder and was sentenced to life in prison in 2015.

Macon County Courthouse (Alabama)

Macon County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse in downtown Tuskegee, Alabama, county seat of Macon County, Alabama. A brick courthouse was constructed in the middle of the 19th century, replacing wooden structures used earlier. The current courthouse, an example of Romanesque Revival architecture, was designed by J.W. Golucke and built in 1905 (completed in 1906). It includes gargoyles. A monument to confederate soldiers is located nearby. The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1978. The courthouse is at 101 East Northside Street. Golucke designed numerous courthouses in Georgia. Gargoyles adorn the courthouse's clocktower. In 1957 an amendment to the Alabama Constitution was passed to form a committee to study how to abolish the county. Gerrymanders and syphilis study cases were heard at the courthouse. It is the only courthouse in Alabama designed by Golucke and the only courthouse in Alabama with gargoyles. It has granite trim. The Tuskegee Confederate Monument in Tuskegee Square in front of the courthouse is controversial. Proposals to remove or relocate it have not succeeded and it has been vandalized repeatedly. It sits on land given by the county to the United Daughters of the Confederacy for a park and the monument. The site was for whites only. The monument is adorned with Confederate flags. Macon County is more than 80 percent African American. Alabama passed a law protecting Confederate monuments. In 2023 the statue was ordered removed.

Madison County Courthouse (Arkansas)

The Madison County Courthouse is a courthouse in Huntsville, Arkansas, the county seat of Madison County, built in 1939 by the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works (FEA). It is a three-story masonry structure, its exterior finished in glazed brick with limestone trim. It has restrained Art Deco styling, including pilasters between its central window bays, and blocky limestone archways framing its entrances. It was built in 1939 with funding from the Federal Emergency Administration, and is the city's finest example of Art Deco architecture. Located within the Huntsville Commercial Historic District, the courthouse is a culturally significant landmark for both its architectural style and historical importance because of its association with the FEA. It was because of this dual significance that the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. History Madison County was formed on September 30, 1836, from Washington County, with county government first established in a barn near Huntsville. A log courthouse was built on the public square following the settlement's official designation as county seat on July 22, 1839. The 900-square-foot (84 m2) single-room building cost $150 ($4,535.16 today). A new, two-story brick structure was built in 1845 but was burned by Union soldiers in 1863 during the Civil War. The county incurred a $16,000 ($430,000 today) debt building a new structure in 1871. This structure only served seven years before being burned accidentally. In 1881, another brick courthouse was completed, but only lasted nine years before another fire destroyed the building. Madison County relocated to the northwest corner of the square into a native stone building in 1905. The courthouse served until the 1930s when repairs to the roof were deemed sufficiently expensive that it was preferable to build a new building rather than rehabilitate the undersized structure. The FEA of Public Works announced plans to construct a new courthouse at 1 Main Street in 1939. Following voter approval, three houses were purchased and moved in order to build the new structure. The FEA approved a budget of $90,090 ($2,085,000 today) for the project. Dedicated November 1939, Clyde T. Ellis gave a speech dedicating the building. Future governor Orval Faubus served as circuit clerk in the courthouse shortly after its completion.

The City of Gadsden purchased the amphitheater in 1986 and began restoration of the facility. It was renamed to honor Dr. Mort Glosser, a longtime band director at Gadsden High School (1936-1959) and later superintendent of Gadsden City Schools, retiring in 1975. Architecture Designed by local architect Paul W. Hofferbert, the amphitheater was constructed using stone quarried from Lookout Mountain.

Trinity Presbyterian Church (Montgomery, Alabama)

Trinity Presbyterian Church in Montgomery, Alabama is a flagship and founding congregation within the Presbyterian Church in America, PCA. Trinity has about 1,300 members. History It was founded by members of the First Presbyterian Church in Montgomery, Alabama in July 1891 as Central Presbyterian Church in downtown Montgomery. The congregation grew rapidly from 32 members to over 400. In 1893 the church building was completed at Lawrence and Washington Streets. In 1909 the church moved to the Garden District of Montgomery and adopted its current name, Trinity Presbyterian Church. The new sanctuary building was completed in 1913 on the corner of Hull Street and Felder Avenue. In 1951 the sanctuary was burned. Two firemen were killed during the blaze. Original walls remained however. The congregation rebuilt it soon after the fire, using the Georgian style of architecture. It was designed by the famous architect Harold E. Wagoner, and was completed in 1952. The Chancel reflects the return to the classical design of the European architecture. The pulpit has wood carvings of ancient Christian symbols. The cassavant organ was installed in 1985. In 1970 the Trinity Presbyterian School was formed. During the 1950s and 1960s, the church was the largest Southern Presbyterian congregation in Alabama and played a significant role in opposing desegregation and the Civil Rights Movement. In 1965 the church refused to admit a mixed-race group to hear a sermon by Leighton Ford, a Billy Graham associate. In 1973 Trinity Presbyterian left the Presbyterian Church in the United States over its growing theological liberalism and became a charter member of the Presbyterian Church in America.

Southgate Mall (Muscle Shoals)

Southgate Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Around 2005 the inside of the mall closed and the businesses that remained moved to the outside of the mall. Opened in 1968, the anchor stores are Tractor Supply Company, Walgreens, Genesis Jewelry, Pet Supplies Plus, Hibbett Sports, and Burke's Outlet. There is 1 vacant anchor store that was once Rogers. Walmart was a tenant of the mall at one point, but now has its own free-standing store next to the mall. History The mall opened in 1968, featuring Woolco and Rogers as its original anchor stores. After Woolco closed in 1983, its space was sold to Walmart, which moved from an existing store in Sheffield. In 1989, mall renovations were announced that included the expansion of the Rogers store, and the opening of Hibbett Sports and Bookland (a division of Books-A-Million). In 1995, Walmart closed its store in favor of a supercenter located at the opposite end of the mall, in addition to opening a second supercenter in nearby Florence. At the time, the presence of two supercenters in the market was considered unusual. Rogers was acquired by the Dunlaps chain in 1996. At the time, Rogers also had a store at Beltline Mall (now Decatur Mall) in Decatur, Alabama. Convergys purchased the former Walmart in 2001, and announced plans to convert it to a call center, but later canceled these plans. In 2006, Burke's Outlet opened at the mall, while Tractor Supply Company and a Walgreens call center filled portions of the former Walmart. Many new stores opened in the mid-2000s, although most of them faced the outside of the mall, leaving the interior corridors mostly vacant. Rogers closed in 2007. References
