Jefferson Franklin Jackson House
Jefferson Franklin Jackson House, Renaissance Revival house in Montgomery, Alabama.
The Jefferson Franklin Jackson House features symmetrical design elements, classical details, and ornate decorative features characteristic of Renaissance Revival architecture.
Built in 1853, this two-story frame house belonged to Jefferson Franklin Jackson, who served as United States Attorney for northern and central Alabama.
The Montgomery City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs transformed the house into a community center and established Montgomery's first library for African Americans.

The Women's Political Council held meetings at this house, which led to the organization of the Montgomery bus system boycott.
