Member of The University of Alabama Museums
Built in 1829, the Gorgas House was the first structure to be built on the University of Alabama campus, and was one of only four buildings to survive the Civil War campus burning in 1865.
The home was originally built as a steward's hall (hotel) and dining facility for university students. In the 1840's the building was renovated into a faculty residence. It is one of four buildings that survived the burning of the campus by the Union Army in 1865 still standing today. The Gorgas family lived in the home from 1879-1953 and oversaw the University's hospital and post office inside their home.
The residence is now a house museum with collections of antiques and Gorgas family memorabilia.
