Smith-Luther Home, Adams Street

Built in ca. 1854 by Dr. Carlos G. Smith, later fifth president of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, this house has four different levels with the bedroom portions one-half flight lower and one-half flight higher than the main floor.

Mr. and Mrs. Tom Dark lived in the house from 1949 to 1977 when it was bought by the Luther family. The present owner, Mrs. Tutt Luther, has refurbished the home and added to the landscape plantings. Sketched by Lee Harless, Jr., 1986.
