Tolstoy Park, The Henry Stuart House, Historic circular hut in Montrose, US
The Henry Stuart House features a 14-foot diameter concrete dome structure with six windows encircling the building and two roof skylights.
Henry Stuart constructed this concrete dwelling in 1925 after receiving a tuberculosis diagnosis, leading him to relocate from Idaho to the Alabama coast.
The house earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, representing early 20th-century alternative architecture in coastal Alabama.
Located at 22787 US Highway 98 in Fairhope, the structure stands in a business parking lot beneath a large oak tree.
Stuart mixed and poured each concrete block by hand, creating a partially subterranean residence where he maintained a garden and wove rugs.
