Lee's art has been recording Huntsville scenes for most of his life. One of his specialities has been drawings of Twickenham houses.
FEARN-KING HOME, Franklin Street
Dr. Thomas Fearn, known for his early medical research and his civic concerns, built this home ca. 1820 and in 1847 hired George Steele to modify its facade in Greek Revival style. Lee Harless, Jr. sketched this handsome home in 1978.
About the Fearn-King house:We played all over yard and house in the day when children were supposed to be seen and not heard. Uncle Willis was a colonel of the War Between the States and woe to anyone who referred to it as civil strife. The Confederacy was defeated because it wore itself out whipping the Yankees.
