Title A name given to the resource George Searcy House, 815 Greensboro Avenue, 2014 Subject The topic of the resource Houses and homes School boards County school systems Tuscaloosa Public Library Description An account of the resource This photo shows the Searcy House as it is being prepared for demolition in 2014. The two-story Searcy House was built in 1904 by George Searcy, a Tuscaloosa banker and businessman. It was sold to Tuscaloosa County in 1925 for $35,000. The building was used for both a public library and the administrative offices of the Tuscaloosa County Board of Education. In 1958 the Library moved to the Jemison Mansion through the generosity of Victor Hugo Friedman. In 1968 the Board of Education renovated it for more functional office use. At that time, a cylindrical spiral staircase, constructed in 1840 and salvaged from the E.N.C. Snow House which once sat on the site of the present Tuscaloosa County Courthouse, was moved to the Searcy House. The house was an excellent example of the Neo-revival style of architecture popular at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1904, Tuscaloosa was once again becoming more socially and financially active and the Searcy House was one of the first large houses built in the area since the 1870's. The house was approximately square with a wide veranda on front and four fluted Ionic columns. The entrance had an arched transom and lights on each side of the door. The details of the woodwork, dentils, rails and supports of the balcony added distinction to the Greek Revival style of the house. In 2012, the Board of Education acquired the Federal Courthouse Building on Greensboro Avenue after a new Federal Courthouse was built on University Boulevard. The Board of Education sold the Searcy House to Frederick Hahn Sr., the lone bidder, for its appraised value of $600,000. Hahn donated the house to the adjoining First Baptist Church. Attempts by the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society to save the Searcy House, which was on the "Places in Peril" list of the Alabama Historical Commission, were unsuccessful. An estate sale to sell of parts of the house was held. Mantels, windows, pocket doors, moldings and other period parts of the house were sold. The spiral staircase was salvaged for use in another historic home or stored for safekeeping. Any remaining items of value were removed to a location for a later sale before the house was demolished in 2014.

Title A name given to the resource Shooting Gallery, circa 1915 Subject The topic of the resource Shooting Description An account of the resource According to information on the back of the photo, probably written by Fred Maxwell, this shooting gallery was located on 7th Street between 23rd Avenue and Greensboro Avenue. The gallery was owned by W.J. (Bill) Townsend, shown on the left, and thrived around 1915, but was forced to close in 1917 when World War I caused the cost of ammunition to go too high. Bill was one of the best shots with a rifle around then and men and boys spent many afternoons and nights trying to out-shoot him. Bill died in 1942. The oldest of Bill's sons, Dewey Townsend, is on the right. Dewey retired after 36 years with the post office. At the time of his retirement, he was superintendent of mails at what was then the new Southside station in Tuscaloosa.

Title A name given to the resource Old Tavern, 2800 28th Avenue Subject The topic of the resource Taverns (Inns) Description An account of the resource The Old Tavern was originally located on the north side of University Boulevard between Lurleen Wallace North and South (Broad Street between 25th Avenue and 26th Avenue). It was built in 1827 by William Dunton, a hotel proprietor. Many state legislators, state officials, lobbyists and others stayed in the hotel due to its convenient location to the State Capitol. Governor John Gayle (1831-1835) lived in the tavern. Gayle found the hotel residence convenient since his family lived in Greensboro. In 1964, the Old Tavern was deeded to the Tuscaloosa County Preservation Society with the provision that it be moved to another site. The building was moved to the far end of University Boulevard near Capitol Park in 1966.
