Paterson House, Mediterranean Revival residence in Mobile, United States

Paterson House is a Mediterranean Revival residence in Mobile, Alabama, featuring characteristic design elements such as detailed stucco exteriors and tiled roofing. The structure showcases residential construction methods and aesthetic choices typical of the 1920s.

Built in 1927 during a period of growth and development in Mobile, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. This recognition acknowledged its architectural importance and contribution to the area's built heritage.

The house takes its name from the Paterson family, who lived there for many years; the interior keeps antique furniture, artwork and decorative items from their time. Platt Roberts, the local architect who designed it, later drew Mobile's 16-story Waterman Building, so the same hand links this residence to the city's downtown skyline.

The residence is located in Midtown Mobile and can be viewed from the exterior while exploring the surrounding neighborhood and historic district. Daytime visits allow you to fully appreciate the architectural details and design of the facade.

The house entered the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1986, cited for its architecture rather than for any resident. Its 8,000 square feet (740 m2) make it a large example of the Mediterranean Revival style in the city.
