Harrison House

This Queen Ann Victorian clapboard and shingle home was built in a style more familiar to the northeast United States. Built by Seaborne Johnson, son of Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind founder, it was soon sold to Dr. Groce Harrison who added a wing to serve as his and his father's medical office and operatory. Tinsley Harrison was born here in 1900. Tinsley is considered Alabama's most distinguished healthcare personality and arguably our nation's most famous internist. He was a founder and first dean of UAB medical school. The original servants' quarters remains. The house has also been home to Judge J. N. Manning and Sears Lee and is currently home to George and Andrea Montgomery.
