Summary

Description
English: Historic Chappel House

Circa 1850 One of Montgomery's last pre-Civil War cottages, this structure occupies the site of General John Scott's 1817 pioneer settlement, "Alabama Town." The columned entrance stoop shows how the Greek Revival style influenced smaller house as well as large. The brick walls were likely laid under the supervision of builder John Figh, also involved in building the present State Capitol.

In 1935, the U. S. government bought and restored the house to serve as the Central Office for the adjacent Riverside Heights housing project, providing one of Alabama's earliest examples of deliberate preservation through adaptive use.

This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 16000445.
