Description
The King House was built in 1823 by Mr. King who owned a large portion of land in the town of Montevallo A.L. The House was built by slaves who took clay from a nearby river to build the bricks and glass windows were imported to add to the effect of grandeur. The glass windows were the first to be seen is this part of the town and where a symbol of prosperity to the King family. The King house has been used for many different purposes since 1823 such as a classroom, a summer dorm and office buildings. Today the house is as much as a symbol as well as a usable home.
