Site of Alabama
Photographer: Tim Carr
Taken: August 15, 2009
Caption: Site of Alabama's First Statehouse 1820-1825
Additional Description: This structure collapsed in 1823 and its fallen remains were reportedly heaped into a railroad embankment. Consequently,we have no picture of the Statehouse that was drawn by someone who actually saw the building. Any modern picture you see of this structure is pure conjecture.
We can only hope that archaeologists will uncover important clues to the appearance of Cahawba's Statehouse.
