November 2009 BHHA Meeting

The November 2009 meeting of the Bessemer Historical Homeowners Association will be at the George Rutledge house, home of Russ and Martha Brown, located at 4056 Lakewood Drive, on November 17 at 7 pm.

This house was built in 1928, and was the former home of George Rutledge, who was a banker, civic leader and former mayor of Bessemer (1912-1914).

This high-style American Foursquare retains outstanding vintage details including entrance doors with beveled glass sidelights, 9-over-1 sash windows, beautiful interior woodwork, and the original bath fixtures and tile, and was one of the "Original Seven" Lakewood Estates" homes.
