William Lowndes Yancey Law Office
William Lowndes Yancey Law Office, Civil War era law office in Montgomery, Alabama.
The office building stands at the intersection of Washington and Perry Streets, featuring architectural elements typical of 1840s professional establishments in the South.
William Lowndes Yancey operated his legal practice from this location between 1846 and 1863, during critical years leading to the American Civil War.
The structure represents the professional environment where Southern political discourse and legal practices shaped Alabama's path toward secession from the Union.
The building maintains its position on the National Register of Historic Places, allowing visitors to examine its external architecture during daytime hours.
After substantial modifications in the 1980s, the building lost its National Historic Landmark status while retaining its place on the National Register.
