Year Constructed: 1861

"This Italianate dwelling of great importance to the DeTonti Square District was constructed in 1860 by Charles Richards, a Maine-born riverboat captain. Its cast iron decoration, including depictions of the "Four Seasons" on the porch balustrade, is the most elaborate in the city. Purchased from Richards' grandchildren in 1947 by the Ideal Cement Company, the building was given to the city of Mobile in 1973. It is operated as a house museum by the six Mobile chapters of the DAR."
