Bettie Hunter House
Bettie Hunter House, Renaissance Revival house in Mobile, Alabama
The Bettie Hunter House stands as a two-story Italianate residence with elaborate architectural details and symmetrical window arrangements on St Francis Street.
Built in 1878 by former slave Bettie Hunter, the house represents her success in the carriage transportation business during Mobile's period as a major Gulf port.
The property demonstrates African American entrepreneurship in the post-Civil War era through its construction by a Black businesswoman in a white-dominated neighborhood.
The Hunter House remains in family ownership and participates in the Dora Franklin Finley African-American Heritage Trail of Mobile with scheduled guided tours.
Bettie Hunter died at age 27, just one year after completing the house, leaving behind this architectural testament to her remarkable business achievements.
