Tremont Street

MACRIS NWB.AL · area form

Tremont Street was accepted by the mayor and aldermen on May 16, 1859, but a short lower section was built up earlier and in 1851 was called Coffin's Court. The name came from the row at 4-14 Tremont Street, six Greek Revival units built on speculation by Charles H. Coffin, a merchant and president of the First National Bank, who had put up a similar row on High Street.

Other Greek Revival houses followed. Arthur Kelley, an overseer at the James Steam Mill, owned and lived in the single-family house at number 5, and Capt. Samuel Walton and his son Samuel owned 7-9, which later belonged to Capt. James W. Elliot. Father John O'Brien, pastor of the city's first Catholic church, lived at number 6.

The houses at the upper end were built before 1890, mostly for people working in the textile mills and shoe industry. The form records the street as largely unchanged since 1890.
