Historic Downtown Northport
Image

Historic Downtown Northport is a must see for every visitor to the area. Settled in the early 19th century, the area boasts a collection of art galleries, stores, museums, and quaint restaurants. Tourists will find the brick street, ornate lighting, landscaping, and other amenities picturesque. Many of the merchants are descendents of some of the original business owners and builders. One can hardly miss the old wooden train trestle which serves as a major landmark to this area.

 

The Shirley Christian Home

The Shirley-Christian Home, located at 512 Main Avenue, was built in the 1840's by James Shirley, an early Tuscaloosa County builder who in the 1850's erected the first brick commercial buildings in Northport. The house was the home of one of Northport's earliest families - the Christians. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the federal raised cottage is made of handmade brick.

 

Kentuck Arts & Craft Center

Located at 503 Main Avenue, the Kentuck Arts and Craft Center is located in a two story masonry building built in 1920 for a mercantile business. The center, which is headquarters for the annual Kentuck Festival, also serves as studios for seven artists and employs six people.
