National Register Property

301 Main St, Oxford, AL 36203

This downtown Oxford home will captivate you with its beauty and history. As one of the only properties in Alabama listed on the national historic registry, its charm and character has been preserved over the last century. As you walk through the home you will visualize the narrative told about the life of a family at the turn of the century. Included in these features is the genuine copper fountain and basin used by Annie Cooper to water her ferns, the original kitchen with authentic 1800's appliances and components and bathrooms with cast iron claw foot tub and fixtures installed at the origin of indoor plumbing. In addition to the house the property contains three other historic resources. A recreational building to the rear of the house contains a rare box ball alley, a precursor to a modern bowling alley, the only one known of in the state of Alabama, a gazebo built in the early 1900's constructed from the branches of trees and a brick garage.
