![]() The Kelly-Stone-Hill House is one of the few pre–Civil War structures remaining in Pickens County. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this residence is a good example of the type of vernacular Greek Revival–style cottage once found in towns and villages across the Deep South. In 1830 the federal government gave Pickens County eighty acres for its county seat. Located close to the courthouse square, the Kelly-Stone-Hill house was one of the first dwellings built in the town of Carrollton. The house is threatened by deterioration, and its owners are looking for a buyer who would be willing to restore it.

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
