![]() Built in 1844 by Virginia native John Glascock (1817-1897), this house is one of three remaining examples in Tuscaloosa of the Gothic Revival style and one of only approximately three dozen antebellum buildings left in Tuscaloosa. It features handsome cutwork and pointed arch windows, as well as original interior details. Glascock was a cousin of statesman and unsuccessful presidential candidate Henry Clay, who reputedly stayed in the house on several occasions. The area is primarily commercial, and the house would make an excellent potential rehabilitation tax credit project. To date, it has been on the market for over a year with no offer.

Alabama's Endangered Historic LandmarksEach year since 1994, Alabama Heritage has highlighted threatened historic sites throughout Alabama. The “Places in Peril” list has identified more than 215 imperiled historic resources throughout the state, and is compiled by the Alabama Historical Commission and the Alabama Trust for Historic Preservation. The locations highlight the results of deferred maintenance, perceived obsolescence, development pressures, and lack of funding—forces that now more than ever threaten our cultural legacy. But awareness is a powerful force, too, and can cultivate a renewed determination to be responsible stewards of our heritage. For more information, visit the AHC or the ATHP websites. Alabama Heritage is proud to bring to you a selection of the places designated as perilous. Please keep your comments to information relevant to the featured place in peril. Alabama Heritage reserves the right to delete any comment that we deem inappropriate. Archives
