Source document Quoted word for word from HABS ALA,51-MONG,15-. Not written, edited or summarised by this site.

The Hausman residence is a good example in Mont- gomery of a one-storey house of Greek Revival style. There are any number of houses like this one in the city. The Hausman plan has the kitchen building at right angles to the main building and the corners touching each other. The Greek Doric porch on the front has six small columns, built up of brick and stucco, with stone capitals- The brick frieze has the usual curlicue wood brackets. The doctor's office and latticed porch at the rear are later additions. Source, of Material: E. Walter Burkhardt, District Administrator, HABS, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama.
