Gorgas House

Located on the northwest quadrangle on the University of Alabama campus. Built in 1829, the house was designed as a dining hall for students. It is one of only four structures to have survived the burning of the university during the Civil War. In 1879, the house became the residence of General Josiah B Gorgas, Chief of Ordnance for the Confederacy and later president of the university. Now open for tours, the house contains some of Gorgas' personal effects.
