Roberts House, listed on the NRHP in Alabama
Roberts House is a two-story brick residence built in Tudor Revival style, located in a quiet suburb of Mobile in a residential neighborhood. The property includes the main house and two smaller outbuildings on approximately one-third acre, with steep roofs, decorative gables, tall chimneys, and small-paned casement windows.
The Roberts House was built in the 1920s in Country Club Estates, a suburb developed in that decade, and the two-story red brick mansion was completed in 1929 to designs by J. F. Pate. The John A. Roberts Jr. family bought the property in 1988, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1994. Dr. Charles F. and Janice M. Jones acquired it in 2001.
The house takes its name from the John A. Roberts Jr. family, who bought it in 1988 and owned it until its 2001 sale to Dr. Charles F. and Janice M. Jones. It stands in Country Club Estates, a suburb laid out in the 1920s, and its 1994 National Register listing rests on the Tudor Revival design by architect J. F. Pate.
The house is located in a quiet residential area away from busy roads and is easily accessible by car. Visitors should note that while the exterior can be viewed from the street, interior access may be limited depending on current ownership and private property status.
The property was designed by architect J. F. Pate, whose works are less documented than other local buildings from the era. This offers visitors a rare glimpse of the work of a less-known designer whose contributions to the area's architecture are often overlooked.
