Summary

Significance: The Charity House, a one-room rectangular house with a later single-room addition to the rear, is an example of a single-pen plan, the most basic folk house type in rural Alabama. Probably dating between 1885 and 1900, the house was associated during the 20th century with a Black family named Charity, and the bootlegging activities of Tom Charity.
