Conde-Charlotte House
Conde-Charlotte House, House museum and historic site in Mobile, United States.
The Conde-Charlotte House is a house museum in Mobile featuring symmetrical design, tall columns, and period furnishings that showcase both Greek Revival and Federal architectural styles throughout its rooms. The building combines these two design approaches in its interior layout and exterior appearance.
The structure was built in 1822 on the foundation of Mobile's first jail and was later converted from a residence into a museum. This transformation in the 1940s created a space to preserve the building's earlier municipal history.
The rooms display furnishings and decorations reflecting the British, Spanish, and American periods that shaped the city's past. Walking through, you can see how residents lived during these different eras.
The museum sits in the downtown area within walking distance of other historic sites. Plan your visit during daytime hours when the rooms are well-lit and you can see the details of the furnishings clearly.
Sections of the original 1822 jail cells and foundation remain visible in the basement, bringing that early chapter to life. These underground remnants connect you directly to when the site functioned as a public jail.
