Oak Place, Historic building in Huntsville, United States

Oak Place is a three-story Greek Revival house with a low hipped roof, built by architect George Steele in 1840. Its façade has a one-story flat-roofed portico with two square Doric columns at the corners and two fluted Doric columns in the middle. The interior has a central entrance hall, a ballroom with 14-foot ceilings, and four bedrooms on the second floor.

George Steele built Oak Place in 1840 on a 320-acre tract; the same architect designed Huntsville's First National Bank and the second Madison County Courthouse, which stood from 1840 to 1914. The East Huntsville Baptist Church later converted the house into a church school building, a change that stripped away many interior and exterior details. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The house was converted into a church school building by the East Huntsville Baptist Church, a change that removed many of its original interior and exterior details. Its later name, the Steele-Fowler House, links it to the Fowler family alongside its architect George Steele.

The building can be viewed from public areas where visitors can observe its architectural features from outside. Detailed research materials about its historical documentation are available for those interested in learning more.

Oak Place is also known as the Steele-Fowler House. Its interior departs from the standard house of 1840: a central entrance hall opens onto a ballroom with 14-foot ceilings on one side and two smaller rooms set several steps higher on the other, with a dining room in the basement beneath them.
