Description
The oldest structure on campus is King House, built in 1823 by a Virginian planter named Edmund King who owned a large portion of land in Montevallo. King’s slaves used clay from the nearby river to make the bricks while imported glass windows announced the King family’s prosperity. In 1908 the college purchased the house from its owner, Mrs. Frank Nabors, for $8,502. Since then it has served the university as a classroom, office, infirmary, home economics practice room, summer home for students, and financial aid office.
