White House

[Mike Mancil]

This is the First White House of the Confederacy in Montgomery, AL. Originally a private home, it's thought to have been built in 1825.

That's in incredible shape for a house that old. Nice call on the B&W.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for helping out this new forum! The B&W look of this works really well. It's amazing to think that house is getting close to 200 years old, it looks to be in great shape.

Thanks guys, it’s a beautiful old home with a storied history that exceeds the titled use. In fact, the Confederacy never owned the house, just leased it for the few years before their move to Richmond, VA. It’s furnished with period furniture and furnishings that give a portal into the upper crust lifestyle of the mid 1800’s... Mike

Thanks, the state of Alabama subsidizes upkeep with $100,000 per year, but I figure that’s money better spent than most of their expenditures .
