Queen Anne Cottage-Clayton, Alabama

Built in 1900, this home, most recently, was a restaurant. I love it so much.

Eclectic Queen Anne Cottage-Clayton, Alabama

Clayton, Alabama needs to declare the area around its downtown area a historic district. There are so many beautiful houses and a few churches in the surrounding area that need this recognition. It would also help keep the history of the buildings.

The build date for this home is 1885. That is all I can find.

Queen Anne Victorian-Crawford, Georgia

Outside of knowing it was built in 1900, I cannot find any history on this house.

Updated to add, according to Scott Reed, this home was built in the 1840s. It was modified in the 1870s, and then in 1900, it was modified to what we see today.

Palmour House-College Park, Georgia

The Palmour House was built in 1892 for Dr. William and Alice Crenshaw and their family. The home was affectionately known as “Annabelle.” I am unable to determine why. There are no immediate relatives with the name of “Annabelle.”

The home was built by Alice’s brother, William Cox, who graduated from Cornell University. He also designed Cox College, a women’s college that once operated near the home.

The home was constructed of brick from the dirt excavated to build the enormous basement.

The home later became known as the Palmour House. Dr. Crenshaw’s daughter, Mary Louise, and her husband, Oscar, purchased the home from the Crenshaw estate.

Dr. Crenshaw and his daughter were talented gardeners, especially with flowers. At one time, a chrysanthemum was named for Mary. I am unable to locate an image of the flower.
