So very many possibilities abound within the 9340 sq 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. Potentially this property could be apartments, condominiums, office space, one or two private homes, or even a small boutique hotel. A true bonus is that the property comes with 18 parking places in a contiguous parking lot plus two assigned parking places on the street. The curb appeal of this property is exceptional. The details throughout, including the sheer size of the rooms and soaring12 foot plus ceilings, the porches and corniced ironwork, the brickwork, the front doors, the wide baseboards, and the exterior star bolts are all phenomenal. The hardwood floors, the moldings, the turned stair rails, the multiple coal burning fireplaces with beautiful mantles, the period chandeliers, the double parlors, the vault room, the primitive kitchen, and the 2 luggage rooms are all truly exceptional features. The colors on the moldings are from the Jacquelyn Kennedy Historic Paint Collection reflecting the era of this home. Originally the 1st house was built by Cornelius Robinson & three years later he built the twin house next door for his son. In 1849 the first gas light was placed at the corner of Conception and St. Anthony. De Tonti 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 an elevator were added to join the homes. There are two working half baths on the property and a functioning kitchen plus good storage. There is space for additional bathrooms to be added. Per the seller, 41 windows have been rebuilt adding historic glass and installing Ipe Brazilian sills where needed as well as adding a steel structural support to the balcony on the St. Anthony side of the property and have added a new roof, new hvac and new hot water heaters. The building is presently being used as office space on the 1st two floors. The third floor is glorious in its original historic condition, with fantastic, exposed brick walls, exposed beams, hardwood floors, coal burning fireplaces, and tons of natural light from the windows overlooking the gorgeous oaks surrounding the property making you feel like you are right in the treetops. These twin homes are Banner and Shielded by the Mobile Historic Development Commission and are on the National Register of Historic Places. The Hannah Houses are utterly amazing encompassing so many historic details and so very many possibilities. Make an appointment today to see this true historic gem!
