Edmund King House, Federal style residence at University of Montevallo, Alabama.
The Edmund King House features a symmetrical two-story brick structure with nine-over-six sash windows on the ground floor and six-over-six on the upper level.
Built in 1823 by Edmund King, this residence stands as the first brick house with glass windows in this section of Alabama during the early nineteenth century.
The house transformed from a plantation residence to serve multiple roles within the University of Montevallo, including a classroom, infirmary, and student accommodation facility.
Located across from Carmichael Library on Highland Street near Bloch Street, the house functions as a guest residence for visitors to the University of Montevallo.
The structure maintains its original Adamesque fireplace mantels and follows a center-hall plan with two rooms on each side of the central hallway per floor.
