Fairhope Plantation

Fairhope Plantation is a historic Carpenter Gothic plantation house and historic district, located one mile east of Uniontown, Alabama, US. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-framed main house was built in the Gothic Revival style in the late 1850s. The plantation historic district includes six other contributing buildings, in addition to the main house. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on December 19, 1991, and subsequently to the National Register of Historic Places on May 29, 1992, due to its architectural and historical significance. History Fairhope Plantation was built for Joseph Selden, a native of Virginia. He was born on June 4, 1831, and grew up at Westover Plantation in Charles City County, Virginia. Selden married Elizabeth Collier Minge, of Weynoke Plantation, Virginia, near Faunsdale, in 1854. Elizabeth was born on May 30, 1833. Her family was also originally from Charles City County. Joseph and Elizabeth established Fairhope on property given to them by Elizabeth's family. The main house was built by Theophilus Gilliam Fowler, a local builder. Construction began in 1857 and was completed by 1861. The 1860 United States census of Perry County indicates that Joseph Selden owned 80 slaves in that year. Selden organized Selden's Battery, an artillery unit, at his own expense during the American Civil War. The unit saw action in several major engagements, including the battles of Kennesaw Mountain, Franklin and Nashville. Elizabeth Selden died following childbirth in 1868, Joseph died in a hotel fire in 1900. Fairhope continued to be owned by Selden descendants and operated as a farm for another century after their deaths. Architecture The inspiration for the main house at Fairhope Plantation is thought by architectural historians to be an enlarged adaptation of a design by Alexander Jackson Davis, published in Andrew Jackson Downing's Cottage Residences in 1842. The house features numerous Gothic Revival details, including intricate bargeboards on the eaves and gables, hood moldings over the doors and windows, octagonal brick chimneys, and central gables topped by finials on all four sides. Additionally, it has a one-story cast-iron veranda around three sides of the ground floor. It is one of only about twenty Gothic Revival residential structures remaining in Alabama. Other historic Gothic Revival residences in the area include Waldwic in Gallion and Ashe Cottage in Demopolis. References
Plantación Fairhope

Fairhope Plantation es una histórica casa de plantación de estilo gótico carpintero y un distrito histórico, ubicado a una milla al este de Uniontown, Alabama, Estados Unidos. La casa principal, con estructura de madera, fue construida en estilo neogótico a finales de la década de 1850. El distrito histórico de la plantación incluye otros seis edificios que contribuyen a su valor, además de la casa principal. Fue incorporada al Registro de Monumentos y Patrimonio de Alabama el 19 de diciembre de 1991 y, posteriormente, al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos el 29 de mayo de 1992, debido a su importancia arquitectónica e histórica. Historia La plantación Fairhope fue construida para Joseph Selden, oriundo de Virginia. Nació el 4 de junio de 1831 y creció en la plantación Westover, en el condado de Charles City, Virginia. Selden se casó con Elizabeth Collier Minge, de la plantación Weynoke, Virginia, cerca de Faunsdale, en 1854. Elizabeth nació el 30 de mayo de 1833. Su familia también era originaria del condado de Charles City. Joseph y Elizabeth establecieron Fairhope en una propiedad que les fue donada por la familia de Elizabeth.​ La casa principal fue construida por Theophilus Gilliam Fowler, un constructor local. La construcción comenzó en 1857 y finalizó en 1861. El censo de Estados Unidos de 1860 del condado de Perry indica que Joseph Selden poseía 80 esclavos ese año.​ Selden organizó la Batería Selden, una unidad de artillería, a su propio costo durante la Guerra de Secesión estadounidense.​​ La unidad participó en varias batallas importantes, incluidas las de Kennesaw Mountain, Franklin y Nashville.​ Elizabeth Selden falleció tras dar a luz en 1868; Joseph murió en un incendio de hotel en 1900.​ Fairhope siguió siendo propiedad de los descendientes de Selden y funcionó como granja durante un siglo más después de su muerte.​ Arquitectura Los historiadores de la arquitectura creen que la casa principal de la plantación Fairhope se inspiró en una adaptación ampliada de un diseño de Alexander Jackson Davis, publicado en la obra *Cottage Residences* de Andrew Jackson Downing en 1842.​ La casa presenta numerosos detalles neogóticos, como intrincados tapacanes en los aleros y hastiales, molduras sobre las puertas y ventanas, chimeneas octogonales de ladrillo y frontones centrales rematados con pináculos en sus cuatro lados.​ Además, cuenta con una veranda de hierro fundido de una sola planta que rodea tres lados de la planta baja. Es una de las aproximadamente veinte estructuras residenciales neogóticas que aún se conservan en Alabama.

Federal Correctional Institution, Talladega

The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI Talladega) is a medium-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Talladega, Alabama. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. The facility also includes an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp that also houses male offenders. FCI Talladega is located approximately 50 miles from Birmingham, Alabama and 100 miles from Atlanta, Georgia. 1991 inmate rebellion On August 21, 1991, 121 Cuban inmates who had been incarcerated since the 1980 Mariel boatlift rioted and took over the facility in an effort to block their deportation to Cuba. Most of the prison staff who were on duty at the time escaped, but nine staff members, seven men and two women, were forced to barricade themselves in a room with mattresses. A ten-day standoff ensued, during which federal negotiators conducted two face-to-face meetings with the inmates, who released a sick hostage in exchange for a chance to speak with a reporter. However, the inmates repeatedly threatened to kill the other hostages if their scheduled deportation to Cuba was not cancelled. Sanitary conditions were rapidly deteriorating inside the prison and some hostages, using hand signals during a food delivery and medical visit, conveyed their fear to prison officials earlier that the inmates were discussing specific plans "to throw a hostage from the roof and to stab one or more hostages." Based on that information, US Deputy Attorney General William P. Barr, FBI Director William S. Sessions, and Bureau of Prisons director J. Michael Quinlan authorized the FBI Hostage Rescue Team to storm the facility. At 3:43 AM on August 31, 1991, several loud explosions were heard inside Cell Block Alpha, the section of the prison where the hostages were being held. A team of about 200 specially trained agents had converged on the cell building at a number of points using explosives to break open doors. Once inside, they detonated a number of stun grenades, devices that issue a huge flash and shockwave intended to temporarily incapacitate anyone caught in the blast. By 3:46 AM, the agents had freed the hostages and taken all 121 inmates into custody. Notable inmates (current and former) References

Historic fire stations of Birmingham, Alabama

The city of Birmingham, Alabama, saw a vast period of growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With its growth came an expansion in city services, notably the fire department. A number of new stations were constructed from 1910 through 1929, many of which are still standing. Together, ten of these historic fire stations are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Historic Fire Stations of Birmingham Multiple Property Submission. History Birmingham's first volunteer fire station was established in December 1871, shortly after the city was incorporated. The city purchased its first fire engine in 1873 after a large fire affected the city. The modern fire department was founded in 1885 with two stations. It had grown to employ 21 firemen and 15 horses by 1890. During the early 20th century, although Birmingham spent less money per capita on services than similarly-sized Southern cities, it spent more on fire and education. The insistence on first-class fire protection came from downtown business leaders; better fire coverage kept their insurance rates low. In 1910 Birmingham annexed a number of suburban towns, more than doubling the city's population. Soon after, residents in the suburbs began to demand better fire protection, leading to many new stations being constructed; by 1929 there were 24 fire stations in Birmingham. Architecture Stations built before 1920 tended to be in the central business districts of the suburban towns, and their architecture reflected the commercial styles of their surroundings, with little decoration. Similarly, stations built after 1920 were primarily in residential areas, and were built in styles popular at the time, including Spanish Revival, Tudor Revival, and Beaux-Arts.

First African Baptist Church (Tuscaloosa, Alabama)

First African Baptist Church is a Baptist church located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It is affiliated with the National Baptist Convention, USA. It was built in 1907 from a congregation established in 1866, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. History The historical marker outside the church reads: Organized November 1866, with 144 members. The Rev. Prince Murrell, first pastor, served until 1885. A church building located at corner of 4th Street and 24th Avenue was purchased and became place of worship during pastorate of the Rev. James Mason, 1885-1891. Resolution passed in this church 1873 resulted in establishment of Selma University, Selma, Alabama. Present structure erected 1907 under leadership of the Rev. J. H. Smith. Church annex completed and adjoining property purchased during pastorate of the Rev. W. B. Shealey, 1952-1957. Education building and new parsonage constructed during term of the Rev. T. Y. Rogers, Jr., 1963-1971. Bloody Tuesday (1964) The Church was the site of a civil rights incident on Tuesday, June 9, 1964, during which peaceful protestors were beaten, arrested, and tear-gassed by Tuscaloosa police officers and a mob of white citizens. The protestors gathered at the church and attempted to march to the Tuscaloosa County courthouse a few blocks away. Sparking their protest was the long-standing Jim Crow laws that resulted in segregated drinking fountains and restrooms at the Courthouse. They did not get very far before the police and the white mob attacked them. Thirty-three African-American men, women, and children were hospitalized. The police brutality led the incident to be labelled "Bloody Tuesday". It occurred over a year before the "Bloody Sunday" events during the Selma to Montgomery marches, but did not receive as much media coverage as the later conflict.

First Baptist Church (Jasper, Alabama)

First Baptist Church, also known as Jasper's First Baptist Church (JFBC or Jasper's FBC), is a Baptist in Jasper, Alabama. It is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. JFBC is the largest church by both facility square footage and membership in Walker County. History The church was founded in 1909. Family Life Center The Family Life Center (FLC) was opened in 1989. Amenities include a full court basketball gymnasium, walking track (1/18 mile), table games, a cafeteria with removable walls, a full-service kitchen, as well as choral and music facilities. The FLC sits on a parcel of land once occupied by the parsonage and its adjoining playground. The parsonage served dual duties, acting as both meeting space for Sunday School classes, as well as personal residence to then music minister, Conrad Howell. When it was decided that the FLC would be constructed on the site, JFBC sold the parsonage to a private individual. The parsonage was then cut into two pieces and moved to another location outside of Heritage Hills, a Jasper neighborhood. Sanctuary Opened on January 24, 1999, the current sanctuary seats approximately 950 people. The capacity of the previous sanctuary was approximately 700 and, after a vote by church members, was demolished in 1997 to allow for church growth. During the construction of the new sanctuary, services were held in the cafeteria of the Family Life Center. On the outside of the new sanctuary, measuring eight feet wide by twelve feet tall and weighing 1,200 pounds is a stained glass window in memory of member Pat Grimes, who died in 1991. Youth Center In 2003 Jasper's FBC purchased the facility previously owned by Collins-Burke Funeral Home. The building now houses a small sanctuary, as well as meeting rooms. Prior to their current facility, JFBC youth met in a church-owned facility next to the Family Life Center. References External links Official website
First Baptist Church (Selma, Alabama)

First Baptist Church is a historic church at 709 Martin Luther King, Jr. Street in Selma, Alabama, United States. A historically African American Baptist church, it was built in the Gothic Revival style in 1894 and known for its association with the Civil Rights Movement. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. From the National Register of Historic Places Inventory — Nomination Form: In 1963 under the leadership of Reverend M. C. Cleveland, the church became the first in the city to open its doors for activities and meetings of the Dallas County Voters League. During the next two years, the church was a focal point of the mass meeting and non-violent teaching sessions sponsored by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and in late 1964, meetings were held in the church to plan the mass rallies and demonstrations of early 1965 which culminated in the Selma-to-Montgomery march. During the early months of 1965, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, and other leaders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, headquartered in Brown's Chapel half a block away, spoke nightly to the youth gathered at First Baptist Church. After the march, the church continued to headquarter the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and continued to serve as a distribution center for food and clothing for those persons who suffered the loss of jobs.

Перший Білий дім Конфедерації, США

Перший Білий дім Конфедерації (англ. White House of the Confederacy) був резиденцією президента Конфедеративних Штатів Америки Джефферсона Девіса та його сім’ї. Будинок побудований в 1835 році, обставлений оригінальними старовинними предметами, відкритий для туристів. Споруда розташована в Монтгомері, штат Алабама. Макет Білий дім Конфедерації представляв собою великий двоповерховий дерев'яний каркасний будинок, пофарбований у білий та зелений кольори. Основна частина будинку мала одноповерхове крило. Споруда побудована на фундаменті із цегляних стовпців та має карниз з кронштейнами, що опоясує вальмовий дах. Карниз унікальний тим, що має вентиляційну систему, прикрашену зображенням фригійського ковпака. Такий же карниз був на задньому одноповерховому крилі, але з квітковим орнаментом. У центрі фасаду будинку був портик із канелюрами та балясинами. Центральний вхід оздоблений двома пілястрами, над дверима розташований архітрав. Центральні сходи мали вихід до подвійної вітальні, двох спалень і заднього коридору. Вітальні мали прості дерев’яні дверні прорізи і з’єднувалися розсувними дверима. Спальні мали подібний вигляд, а коридор закінчувався аркою. Задній хол, який перетинався з головним коридором, мав вихід на бічний ганок, а бічний ганок з’єднувався з їдальнею. На другому поверсі було чотири спальні та дитяча кімната. Історія Білий дім Конфедерації був побудований в 1835 році купцем Вільямом Сейром. Після нього будинком володів полковник Дж. Г. Вінтер. Після реконструкції Вінтер перепродав споруду полковнику Едмонду Гарісону. В лютому 1861 році Тимчасовий конгрес Конфедеративних штатів вирішив орендувати особняк для керівництва. В період президентства Джефферсона Девіса в будинку влаштовувалися вечірки та прийоми. Після перенесення столиці Конфедеративних Штатів Америки з Монтгомері на Ричмонд, сім’я президента звільнила будинок, який потім неодноразово перепродавався. В період реконструкції Півдня, дім використовувався як військова штаб-квартира. Існувала загроза знесення будинку, тому в 1896 році було прийнято рішення про створення Музею Конфедерації. У 1974 році будинок внесений до Національного реєстру історичних місць США, у 2012 році — до реєстру пам'яток та спадщини Алабами. Сьогодення Білий дім Конфедерації залишається відкритим для щоденних екскурсій. У ньому міститься безліч особистих речей президента, а також унікальні старовинні меблі та інші предмети інтер'єру.
