Conde-Charlotte House
The Conde-Charlotte House, also known as the Kirkbride House, is a historic house museum in Mobile, Alabama, United States. The earliest section of the building, the rear kitchen wing, was built in 1822. The main section of the house was added a few decades later and is two and a half floors. The entire structure is constructed of handmade brick with a smooth stucco plaster over the exterior.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work="Library of Congress: Historic American Buildings Survey" )〕
==History==
The house had its beginnings in 1822 as Mobile's first courthouse and city jail, and was built between the southern bastions of Fort Condé.〔 The fort itself was in the process of being demolished at the time. In 1849 the site was purchased by Jonathan Kirkbride from Mount Holly in New Jersey and the old courthouse and jail were converted into a kitchen wing, attached to the newly built main house.〔Hammond, Ralph. ''Ante-Bellum Mansions of Alabama.'', page 172. New York: Architectural Book Publishers, 1951. ISBN 0-517-02075-0〕 The residence would remain in the Kirkbride family until 1905, when it was purchased by B.J. Bishop.〔 The site was purchased by the Historic Mobile Preservation Society in 1940 and a partial restoration was undertaken. It was during this time that the outlines of four of the old jail cells were discovered in the kitchen wing. The restoration would later be completed by The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America.〔
