James Greer Bankhead House
James Greer Bankhead House, Historic residence in Sulligent, Alabama.
The James Greer Bankhead House features a two-story gable-roofed main section with one-story wings and a six-column front porch spanning its width.
The house, constructed in 1850 by Mexican-American War veteran James Greer Bankhead, became the birthplace of U.S. Congressman John H. Bankhead in 1842.
Three generations of the Bankhead family, including two U.S. Congressmen and actress Tallulah Bankhead, trace their roots to this significant Alabama residence.
The structure requires immediate preservation efforts due to ongoing vandalism, with particular attention needed for the restoration of its original windows.
The house represents the only property in Lamar County listed on the National Register of Historic Places, featuring an enclosed dogtrot design.
