157 N Conception Street

So very many possibilities abound within the 9340 sq feet of these special twin Federal homes, the Hannah Houses, built in 1832 and 1835 in DeTonti Square. Potentially this property could be apartments, condominiums, office space, one or two private homes, or even a small boutique hotel. A true bonus is that the property comes with 18 parking places plus two assigned parking places on the street. The details throughout, including the sheer size of the rooms and soaring12 foot plus ceilings, the porches and corniced ironwork, the brickwork, the front doors, the wide baseboards, and the exterior star bolts are all phenomenal. The hardwood floors, the moldings, the turned stair rails, the multiple coal burning fireplaces with beautiful mantles, the period chandeliers, the double parlors, the vault room, the primitive kitchen, and the 2 luggage rooms are all truly amazing features. Originally the 1st house was built by Cornelius Robinson & three years later he built the twin house next door for his son. These twin homes were combined in the 1960s when the property began its use as office space. A foyer and an elevator were added to join the homes. There are two working half baths on the property. Per the seller, they have had 41 windows rebuilt adding historic glass and installing Ipe Brazilian sills as well as adding a steel structural support to the balcony on the St. Anthony side and have added a new roof, new hvac and new hot water heaters. The building is presently being used as office space on the 1st two floors. The third floor is glorious in its original historic condition, with exposed brick walls, exposed beams, hardwood floors, coal burning fireplaces, and tons of natural light from the windows overlooking the gorgeous oaks surrounding the property. These twin homes are Banner and Shielded by the Mobile Historic Development Commission and are on the National Register of Historic Places. Make an appointment today to see this true historic gem!
