August meeting (date change)

The date for the August meeting has been changed. At 7:00 PM, Wednesday, August 18, 2010, the Bessemer Historical Homeowners Association will meet at the historic Scott-Vines house located at 422 Owen Avenue.

The home is owned by Jonathan Edmondson but was built by Pinkney Scott in 1899.

A charming, slender, three-story turret distinquishes the home. The structure has a traditional roof form, hipped with cross gables. It features large rooms, leaded glass, and large porches overlooking the gardens. The porch is two-tiered, with the upper level facing Owen Avenue, and the lower wrapping around the tower corner. Attractive bands of scalloped and diamond shingles remain on the tower.

Join us on Wednesday, August 20.
