From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twickenham Historic District was the first historic district in Huntsville, AL. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 4, 1973. The name derives from the first name for the town of Huntsville, named after Twickenham, England by LeRoy Pope. It features homes in the Federal and Greek Revival architectural styles introduced to the city by Virginia-born architect George Steele about 1818, and contains the most dense concentration of antebellum homes in Alabama. The 1819 Weeden House Museum, home of female artist and poet Maria Howard Weeden, is open to the public, as are several others in the district.
