FAMOUS OLD PICKETT HOME
 TO BE SOLD TO BARNES SCHOOL

According to an announcement given out yesterday, the old Pickett home stead at the corner of Motion and Clayton Streets. the former property of Alabama's historian. Col. Albert J. Pickett, and one of the oldest homes in the city of Montgomery. is being sold. Papers are now being made out and within day or two will have been completed, which will transfer the property of the Pickett heirs to F. R. Barnes. principal of the Barnes School. of this city. The price of the land i'm cluded in the sale is $11.00o.
 With the sale will be marked the passing of another of the old land- marks of Montgomery. Although the old building will be allowed to remain where 1t has stood for more than half century. it will be remodeled throughout. and instead of being used as a dwelling. 1t will hereafter he used for the preparation of boys and girls for collegiate work.
 The report of the sale was at first received with some surprise. Although the property has been known to be on the market for some time. it was not until yesterday that the rumor of the proposed sale was spread. The rumor was confirmed. however. by F. R. Barnes. principal of the school, who several days ago secured an option on the property for sixty days When seen last evening MT. Barnes stated that the time limit of the option would not be taken advantage of, and that the arrangements would be completed as soon as the necessary legal forms could be properly gone through with.
 The transaction. it is stated, is to include only that portion of the Pick ett property included in the homestead and lot adjoining 1t on Clayton Street. To the rear of this property, facing on Motion Street, are two other proper ties. both of which are occupied by descendants of the former owner, but which are not included in the property about to be purchased.
 The Pickett homestead is one of the historic properties in Montgomery An tedating the present Capitol Building of the State, 1t was built by Col John P Figh in 1S49, and for many years occupied by him and his family as a residence. This man was also the builder of the present Capitol building, which was constructed after the first Capitol had been destroyed by fire in lS49, and which was not completed un- til November, 1851. more than two years after the builder had moved into his own home.
 It was not until 1858 that the prop erty passed into the hands of the PlckettS, III that year COl. AIDeIt J. Pickett, who was then living at Ptcke tt Springs purchased the house and the land adjoining from Colonel Figh. The falling health of the prominent his torian, however. prevented him from moving to his new residence, and he died in October of that year. with cut having Set foot In the house which was to be his familys home for so many years
 Shortly after his death, however. tke Pickett family entered the home stead, and from then until 1894 it was coupled by his descendants.
 The old homestead has occupied a prominent position in the social life of

the city. For many years it was known as place of hospitable welcome, and many persons eminent in the South and the nation have been guests within it's walls. Among those who have tasted Of the hospitality it extended were Gen. J. B. Hood, Gen. Braxton Bragg, Governor Zebulon B. Vance of North Carolina and his brother Robert B.. Vance Gen. Leroy Pope Walker, Judge R. c. Brickle, C. c. Clay and Mrs Clay-Clopton, the novelist and many others almost equally as we'll known.
 Only one wedding of the Pickett family was held in the home. That was when the marriage of Miss Corinne Pickett to Edward B. Randolph was celebrated in 1866, at the close of the Civil War. The other sons and daueh. ters of Colonel Pickett were all mar ried in the church.
 Among those who lived in the home- stead fol number of years were Col. William R. Pickett, the efficient Quar- termaster- General of the State of Ala bama during the war of secession, and Col. M. l.. Woods, who, during the term Of the Legislature just preceding the war. was one of those who voted for the provisional measure directing the Governe7V of the State, in the event of the eleSRton of Republican President. to call the conference which later passed the Ordinance of Secession.
 The widow of Col. Albert Pickett died in 1894, and after that time the home was broken up. It is now occu. pied by Mrs. Francis Haynie
 The Barnes school, which Is at pres. ent located at the corner of Church and Catoma Streets. was established in 1856 by J. M. Barnes. the father of the present principal. From the date of it's founding until eight years ago it was located at Highland Home. com- ing to Montgomery in 1898. At pres- ent it has an enrolment of some eighty students. the majority of whom are from this city. Before occupying the new quarters, the Pickett home stead will be remodeled and extensive repairs made. The school will enter the homestead in October, when the lease of the present occupant expires.
