The John R. Drish House stands as a remarkable witness to Tuscaloosa history, embodying stories of transformation, resilience, and architectural innovation. Built in 1837 by enslaved laborers, this historic home has experienced dramatic shifts in purpose and condition, reflecting broader social and economic changes in the region. Its unique architectural style, a blend of Greek Revival and Italianate elements, makes it a rare example of "Bracketed Greek Revival" architecture.

The Tuscaloosa Curb Market has been part of a rich local tradition that dates back to 1924, when Tuscaloosa County’s first curb market officially opened.
