More About This House
So many possibilities abound within the 9,340 square feet of these exceptionally special twin Federal homes, the Hannah Houses, built in 1832 and 1835 in the DeTonti Square Historic District, located at the corner of N. Conception and St. Anthony.Potential uses for this property include apartments, condominiums, office space, one or two private homes, or even a small boutique hotel. A true bonus is the inclusion of 18 parking spaces in a contiguous parking lot, plus two assigned parking places on the street.
The curb appeal is exceptional, and the details throughout—such as the sheer size of the rooms, soaring 12-foot ceilings, porches with corniced ironwork, intricate brickwork, front doors, wide baseboards, and exterior star bolts—are all phenomenal.
Inside, the hardwood floors, moldings, turned stair rails, multiple coal-burning fireplaces with beautiful mantels, period chandeliers, double parlors, vault room, primitive kitchen, and two luggage rooms add to the property’s charm. The moldings are painted in colors from the Jacqueline Kennedy Historic Paint Collection, reflecting the era of the home.
History and Updates
Originally, the first house was built by Cornelius Robinson in 1832, and three years later, he constructed the twin house next door for his son. In 1849, the first gas light was installed at the corner of Conception and St. Anthony. DeTonti Square, named for French explorer Henri De Tonti, is known for its gas lanterns.These twin homes were combined in the 1960s when the property began its use as office space. A foyer and elevator were added to connect the homes. The property includes two functioning half baths, a working kitchen, and ample storage, with space for additional bathrooms.
Per the seller, 41 windows have been rebuilt, incorporating historic glass and Ipe Brazilian sills where necessary, along with steel structural support added to the balcony on the St. Anthony side.
Other updates include a new roof, HVAC system, and hot water heaters. Currently, the first two floors are used as office space, while the third floor remains in its original historic condition, with exposed brick walls, beams, hardwood floors, coal-burning fireplaces, and an abundance of natural light from windows overlooking the majestic oak trees surrounding the property, making you feel as though you are nestled in the treetops.
The Hannah Houses are protected by the Mobile Historic Development Commission and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With so many historic details and possibilities, the Hannah Houses are truly one-of-a-kind.
