Item 50 of 177 (4634)

"This Federal style home at 513 Eustis Street was built in 1830 as a residence for the steward of the Huntsville Female Seminary. In 1827, Isaac Williams purchased the land on which the house and a school building were constructed. The house was later purchased by John H. Lewis, whose daughter, Mary, married John Withers Clay, the editor of the 'Huntsville Democrat' and son of Alabama governor Clement Comer Clay. The Clay family continued to reside in the home after the death of John Lewis in 1858. "
