Description
The northwest living room of the Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion during the time the J.P. Burchfields owned the house.
The house was purchased in 1945 by J. P. Burchfield, Jr. and Nell M. Burchfield. At that time the house was completely renovated with preservation of all the architectural design.
In 1955, the house was purchased by the YMCA for $70,000 and was then exchanged with Mr. Victor Hugo Friedman for the north half of the block containing the Battle-Friedman House. The YMCA used the property for a site for the new central YMCA building. Mr. Friedman gave the Burchfield property to Tuscaloosa County for use as a public library.
