Churches
Historical Markers--Tuscaloosa, AL
Description
An account of the resource
Organized ca. 1870 near the banks of the Black Warrior River, "The Grove" was the first Baptist church begun by African Americans in Tuscaloosa's Big Bend community. Former slaves comprised the original congregation. Early services were held in the homes of members and in brush arbors.
The congregation grew quickly and eventually divided into two bodies: Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church and Beautiful Zion African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. For a time, the two churches visited each other for worship services on alternate Sundays; Beautiful Zion led services on the first and third Sunday and the Grove led them on the second and fourth Sunday. Rev. Henry Jones served as the first pastor of the Grove. Now entirely separate, both churches hold full weekly worship services and remain active in the spiritual life of the Big Bend community.
Land along the well-traversed Sanders Ferry Road was deeded to the Grove on July 13, 1870. The current red-brick structure, the church's third edifice, was completed in 1989. The church is located at 6801 Sanders Ferry Road, Tuscaloosa. The historical marker was placed at the site in 2016 by the Alabama Historical Association.

Description
An account of the resource
The Pickensville Stagecoach Inn was constructed about 1820 and located along the Old Columbus Road. It is thought to be the oldest surviving structure in the small town of Pickensville, the former seat of government in Pickens County, and once a thriving city. It had a large boat landing on the Tombigbee River and it was the main port for most of the river commerce in the area. A stagecoach ran twice weekly between Columbus and Tuscaloosa, going through Carrollton, Reform, and Gordo also.

Description
An account of the resource
Built in 1844 for John Glascock from Virginia, the home is of French Gothic design with distinctive Gothic windows. Glascock was a leading merchant and citizen of Tuscaloosa prior to the Civil War. Six bracketed posts of wood support the roof of the porch. The edge of the roof has three French Gothic gables - one at the entrance and one for each wing. The home is trimmed with "tear drop" mill work across the entire front. There are four two-sashed, nine-paned windows across the front of the house with a door leading from each wing onto the front porch. On the front of these wings are two double windows, twelve panes each, under Gothic points. Higher in the gable over these windows is a painted, louvered Gothic window. The front door, which has a square transom with eight panes, opens into a hall which separates two rooms on each side and opens into a large room at the back.
(Description from "Past Horizons," Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society, 1978)
According to a 2001 Tuscaloosa News article, Kentucky Senator Henry Clay is believed to have stayed in the home several times, and most of the home's features, from the wood floors to the mantels, have been unchanged since their construction in the early 19th century. Years of neglect had taken their toll on the 2,500-square-foot home and it was placed on the Alabama Historical Commission's "Places in Peril" list.
Louise Lawrence Foster, who inherited the house from her mother, Ruth Kirkpatrick, in 1988, said Glascock began the house in 1825 by constructing a two-room cottage on the property. As his dry-goods store became more successful, Glascock added to the house, its newest section was added in the 1840s. The house was used for Foster's Bookshop during the 1930s and 1940s, it was rented to Frank Boykin in 1956, who used it to house his antiques business. The Boykin family ceased renting the house in 1999, and the empty house became a target for vandals. Foster was looking to sell the house in 2001.
The house has since been removed from the endangered list and, in 2013, is home to businesses.
The house is on the National Register of Historic Places.

William Henry Jemison House, 1005 17th Avenue

Houses and Homes
Description
An account of the resource
This house was built about 1840 by William Henry Jemison, the younger brother of Senator Robert Jemison. It is also called the Jemison-Brandon-Waugh House.
This was the first house in Tuscaloosa which departed from the prevalent "Greek Revival" building style. Building details such as bay windows, wall dormers, steeply pitched gables with decorative sawn wood barge boards and quatrefoil patterned iron balcony railings were radical departures from the prevailing style.
Just as William Henry Jemison's house was different from most of those around him, so was his life filled with variety . He was a planter, captain in the Confederate army, member of the Alabama House of Representatives, a teacher of agriculture at Auburn and quartermaster at the University of Alabama 1873-82.
Of the nine children born to him and his wife, Elizabeth Ann Patrick, two had an important impact on Tuscaloosa. William Carlos Jemison was editor of the "Tuscaloosa Times" and mayor of Tuscaloosa for six years, in which time he inaugurated the system of graded public schools.
Another son, Robert IV, affected Tuscaloosa by what he didn't do here but did for another. He left Tuscaloosa after a public meeting in which he pleaded with the city fathers and citizens of our city to band together to promote and finance plans to make Tuscaloosa one of the largest industrial cities in the south. The people were satisfied with the status quo. They rejected the proposal and Jemison moved to the then small village of Birmingham where he and a few other farsighted men built it into the bustling "Magic City."
After the Civil War, William Henry Jemison sold his Gothic home to General Sterling Alexander Martin Wood. The General named the house and grounds "Woodlawn" because the property stretched from 10th to 11th Street and 16th Avenue to Queen City Avenue. A larger tree-lined drive led from Queen City Avenue to the house.
Shortly after the turn of the century, "Woodlawn" was bought by Harry Z. Smith for his wife, Mary Oliver, and their seven children. Smith had previously been in charge of sales for the American Thread Company and in this capacity had to travel constantly. Wishing to stay closer to home, he moved to Tuscaloosa and bought the Tuscaloosa Heading Mill, located near the A.G.S. Railroad station. This company manufactured the tops or "heads" for wooden barrels from pine cut from their own extensive forest lands at "Smith's Spur" near Duncanville.
Mr. Smith died in 1913 after being pinned beneath a wagon which was tipped over by an unruly rearing horse. After his death, the Smiths moved to a house on University Boulevard. The Kappa Alpha fraternity occupied "Woodlawn."
The most prominent occupant of "Woodlawn" was Tuscaloosa's own Gov. W. W. Brandon. He bought the house after he married Ms. Elizabeth Andrews Nabors, a widow with two children. These step-daughters are best remembered in Tuscaloosa as Mrs. James F. Alston and Mrs. A.L. Tyson.
William Woodward Brandon's political and judicial career first began in 1891 when he was elected clerk of the city of Tuscaloosa and a Justice of the Peace. He was also state legislator, state auditor and Probate Judge of Tuscaloosa County for 21 years. His military career was just as illustrious. He was a captain of the Warrior Guards, a major in the Spanish-American War and adjutant-general of Alabama from 1899 to 1901.
He was known throughout Alabama as "Plain Bill" and a friend of all the people when he ran for and was elected governor in 1923. To reinforce this image, his inauguration parade was led by the old grey mule which he had driven as a conductor on the Tuscaloosa Street Railway Company, later called the "Dummy Line" when it was converted to steam. His term as governor was known for its financial economy of operation, the establishment of the state docks at Mobile, and for the first law school in the state and one of the first in the nation to provide for old age assistance other than alms houses.
During the last of a warm political campaign in 1928, he experienced a paralytic stroke which weakened him and caused a permanent lameness. Despite this handicap he continued as probate judge, Sunday School superintendent and chairman of the Board of Stewarts of the Methodist church until his death on Dec. 7, 1933.

Description
An account of the resource
This house, part of a home built circa 1826 by one of Tuscaloosa's first doctors and a Methodist minister, was purchased by the late Dr. John Gallalee, longtime University faculty member and president of the University of Alabama in 1940. The 1820's portion of the house consisted of two rooms and a hall downstairs and one room on the second floor. The original portion of the house is built with four-by-four studs resting on 12- by 12-foot sills. The beaded clapboard exterior is rarely found in Tuscaloosa and indicates the quality of construction that went into the old Owen house. The "gingerbread" that was installed on the porch now forms part of the "interior pergola" of the bar at the University Club. ( Past Horizons, Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society, 1978)
