Raphael Semmes House
Raphael Semmes House, Greek Revival residence in Mobile, Alabama.
The two-story brick townhouse features a full-width cast iron porch, black marble fireplace mantles, and three bedrooms on the second floor.
Built in 1858 by Peter Horta, the house became the residence of Confederate naval commander Raphael Semmes from 1871 until his death in 1877.
The house represents architectural elements of both Federal and Greek Revival styles, reflecting the construction methods and social status of mid-19th century Alabama.
Located at 804 Government Street in Mobile, the property includes a two-story rear service wing with kitchen facilities and additional storage space.
The citizens of Mobile collectively purchased this house in 1871 and presented it to Raphael Semmes as a gift for his military service.
