The Bridgeport Historic District is a historic district in Bridgeport, Alabama. Founded in the 1810s as a farming community, Bridgeport became a major transportation hub with the coming of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad and Southern Railway in the 1850s, in addition to its Tennessee River port. Due to the importance of its rail bridge, the town changed hands several times during the course of the Civil War. Industry began to move into the area in the late 1880s and 1890s, and commercial development of the downtown area soon followed. The district retains several one- and two-story commercial buildings, most constructed out of brick in simple styles popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the elite built their homes on Battery Hill, overlooking the river. The district contains several Victorian and Queen Anne houses, as well as Bungalows and Vernacular styles. The Mission Revival Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railroad depot, three railroad bridges, and three Civil War fortifications are also contained in the district.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]

2.   Brown-Proctor House – 208 S Houston St.   Scottsboro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brown–Proctor House is a historic residence in Scottsboro, Alabama. The house was built in 1881 by John A. Brown, who sold it just one year later. John Franklin Proctor, a politician who served in the Alabama Legislature from 1892 through 1899 and was an attorney for the Scottsboro Boys in 1931, purchased the house in 1907. Proctor made numerous renovations to the house, including altering the two-story front portico with Tuscan columns into its current state of a single-level porch supported by Ionic columns with a central second floor balcony. A three-room addition was also built onto the back of the house, adding to the central hall plan of the original house. After his death in 1934, Proctor's family owned the house until 1981.[3]

The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1981 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1][2]

from Wikipedia

The College Hill Historic District is a historic district in Scottsboro, Alabama. The neighborhood was the first subdivision to be platted in Scottsboro. The area takes its name from the Scott Male and Female Academy, which was built in 1878. The site has been occupied by schools since; the present building was constructed in the 1930s and currently houses the administration offices of the Scottsboro Board of Education. The district contains 14 houses, 10 of which were built between 1890 and 1929, three in the 1930s, and one in the 1970s. The earlier houses are primarily Vernacular styles, although the later construction includes Bungalow and English Cottage-style houses popular at the time.[3] The district was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1982 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1][2]

From Wikipedia

The Skyline Commissary (also known as the Rock Store) is a historic building in Skyline, Alabama. It was built in 1935 as part of Skyline Farms, a project of the Resettlement Administration, a New Deal program that sought to provide jobs for unemployed farmers on collective farms.[2] The commissary sold food to both co-op members and surrounding residents, and served as the hub of social activity for the community. The co-op operated until the end of World War II, when it was sold to private owners. The commissary continued to operate as a general store for the community until the early 2000s. It was converted into a heritage museum in 2005. Like other New Deal structures, the commissary makes heavy use of local materials. The walls are of locally quarried limestone, and the façade features a pedimented portico covering double entry doors. The entry is flanked by two large, multi-paned fixed windows. A gable-roofed ell was added to the north of the rear side in 1937.[3] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]

The Skyline Farms Heritage Association owns the building and operates it as the Rock Store Museum.[4] It is open on a limited basis.
