Photograph and Historic Sites Survey Update Form dated 2014 of 84 South Section Street (84 Section Street South) in Fairhope, Alabama. This building is located in the Downtown Fairhope Historic District. See 34_71_001-127 for all buildings in this District or search "Downtown Fairhope Historic District." Mr. O. K. Cummings (Oscar K. Cummings, 1876-1946) moved to Fairhope in 1924. His wife was a member Minnich family which had come to Fairhope in 1912 (see 34_72_159-161). Mr. Cummings helped organize the Fairhope Chamber of Commerce, was a director and then president of the Baldwin County Savings and Loan Association. Cummings developed many properties around town, leasing lots, building houses and selling them - including this house at 84 South Section Street. The date this house was built is not verified; the Historic Sites Survey Form indicates the build date is 1940, but this cataloger cannot verify the exact date. Note: this house has been altered since the attached 2014 picture. From the Fairhope Public Library Collection and the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation Archives. |
