THE HOME

c. 1907; 2 stories, brick, full-width, 2-story portico with Doric columns, wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, carriage house

Dr. Hal Johnson commissioned Frank Lockwood to design this Neo-Classical Greek Revival style house that was constructed by Robert S. West. It took two years to complete. Dr. Johnson's widow willed the house to the Episcopal Church to be sold to help build the "new" St. Peters, which stands in Talladega today. Mr. and Mrs. Stone and their families have owned the house since the 1950's. The handsome mansion displays fine architectural details and sumptuous original woodwork throughout. It features a neoclassical style with Doric columns, gray brick, with matching limestone window beams secured by a key stone.
