What’s Behind Huntsville’s Million-Dollar Historic Homes? Exploring Twickenham

These beautiful Huntsville homes have stories that go far beyond their front doors. 🏡👀 On this episode of Rediscovering Huntsville, we explore the Twickenham Historic District, where grand mansions, historic churches, and homes more than 200 years old reveal another side of downtown. Come along as we discover the LeRoy Pope home, McClung House, Fickling–Dorning House, Harrison House, Mastin–Batson House, and Howard Weeden House Museum. We also take a look at First Presbyterian Church and historic Helion Lodge. Along the way, we explore surprising home value estimates, changing architecture, Civil War connections, and the preservation efforts that helped these buildings survive. We also discuss the history of slavery connected to properties such as Pope’s Poplar Grove estate and the lives and labor too often left out of the story. From a house shipped in pieces by railroad to a church that lost its towering spire, there’s plenty to discover on these streets! 💬 Which home surprised you most?
