Review & FAQ:

The Oakleigh House Museum is the main attraction in the Oakleigh Historic Complex that also includes barracks, a working-class cottage, and a modern archives building. The name of the house comes from the word “oak” and the word “lea” which is an Anglo-Saxon word meaning meadow.

Built in 1833 in the Greek Revival style, the house is an example of a raised galleried house with the second floor served as living quarters. It is one of the largest t-shaped houses in Alabama. This shape allowed for cross-ventilation in the hot, humid climate.
