Twickenham Tables
Twickenham Tables is a cookbook that was published by the Twickenham Historic Preservation District Association in 1988. In addition to hundreds of recipes, it contains drawings of Twickenham houses and scenes by local artists such as Lee Harless, L. Trice Hinds and Albert Lane, as well as descriptions of the houses.
Moore-Rhett Home, Adams Street
This is one of the great mansions of Alabama with its grand reception hall and double parlors. It contains magnificent staircases, ceiling moldings and furnishings. The back wing was built in 1826 with the 1850*8 Italianate Revival portion added in front. The Corinthian portico was added in the 1920's. The house was used as Federal General John Logan's residence during the Civil War. It gained national attention in 1892 when the owner, Samuel H. Moore, gave a ball honoring his world champion Jersey cow, Lily Flagg. The present owner, a great-nephew of Moore, is Harry Moore Rhett, Jr., who added the charming courtyard with its fountain behind the home. Sketch by Lee Harless, Jr., 1985.
