Notes
  • 1990 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Honorable Mention
  • Significance: The Kilgore House is a good example of the hipped-roof raised cottage. This house type was popular throughout the Lower Chatahoochee Valley in south eastern Alabama and south western Georgia in the 1840's-1860's. Typically, such cottages featured either Greek Revival or Italianate detail, and some times, as with the Kilgore house, an admixture of both. The four large French windows on the west elevation are one of its unique features, and are very unusual in this area, being more common in the coastal regions of the South. The house is considered to be one of the oldest homes in Opelika and is located on the first paved residential street in the town. The original brick surface remains under the current asphalt paving of Geneva Street. The Kilgore House is listed on the National Register of Historic Place as part of the Geneva Street Historic District and is a candidate for individual inclusion on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage.
