Caption: The Duncan House
Additional Description: The Duncan House was built in 1906 as a home place for James and Lella Duncan and their eight children in what is now Tarrant City, Alabama. Duncan worked throughout his life in the nearby shops and yards of the L&N. Railroad (now CSX) as water boy, conductor, and yard dispatcher. Donated to Birmingham Historical Society in 1985 by Alabama By-Products Company, Inc. (now Drummond), Duncan House was moved to its current location at Sloss Quarters, the former site of Sloss company housing, for use as offices and to interpret the city's history. The structure is representative of housing occupied by middle management during the period when Birmingham emerged as a major industrial center.
