Pfau-Crichton Cottage
Pfau-Crichton Cottage, Historic Gulf Coast cottage in Mobile, Alabama.
The wood-frame cottage at 3703 Old Shell Road features interconnected rooms without hallways and includes an outlying kitchen and chapel connected by brick walkways.
Constructed in 1862 by the Pfau family, the cottage gained recognition through Miss Anne Randolph Crichton, who served in the Navy during World War I until her retirement.
The property contains three distinct structures and exemplifies the architectural style prevalent in Gulf Coast residences during the mid-nineteenth century in Alabama.
The National Register of Historic Places listed this 0.5-acre property on October 18, 1984, ensuring its preservation for future generations to study and visit.
Miss Anne Randolph Crichton, the last direct descendant of Crichton town's founder, maintained detailed scrapbooks of her European travels during the 1930s.
