Martin Lindsey House, Historic house in Mobile, Alabama, United States

The Martin Lindsey House is a residential structure located along Mobile Bay in Alabama with distinctive architectural features. This one-story wood-frame building displays French doors in place of conventional windows, features a full wraparound porch, and has a roof with flared edges at the eaves.

The structure was built in 1915 and represents how local building traditions adapted to new construction methods in the early 20th century. Many similar homes appeared during this period as the region developed its own approach to residential design.

The local Bay house style takes its name from Mobile Bay, where houses like this one were built along the Bay Shell Road. Its French doors open onto wrap-around galleries instead of windows, a detail borrowed from much older French Colonial buildings on the central Gulf Coast. The house is privately owned by the Timothy and Desiree Tait family.

The house is a private residence on Mobile Bay, so it is not open to tours and its interior cannot be visited. Views of the one-story wood-frame exterior, the wrap-around galleries and the flared eaves are from the street; visitors should not expect access to the grounds.

The house is also known as the Roy and Barbara Hoppmyer House, and it is now owned by the Timothy and Desiree Tait family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 24, 1991.
