Photograph and Historic Sites Survey Update Form dated 2014 of 4 Minnich Court 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." This small cottage was built c.1940 by Mr. O. K. Cummungs who moved to Fairhope in 1924 for business opportunities and because his wife had family here-the Minnichs. Cummings was an active Farihoper and helped start the Fairhope Chamber of Commerce in 1924, and was a founder, director and president of the Baldwin County Savings and Loan Association. He was also very involved in acquiring lots, building cottages, and then selling or renting them. The original cottage was demolished in the late 2010s and replaced with a two-story residential condo. See 34_72_164 for a picture of a similar nearby cottage which Mr. Cummings built to get an idea of how the original structure looked.
