Summary
| Description |
English: The Jenkins Farmhouse in Loxley, Alabama. The historical marker text reads as follows: The Jenkins Farmhouse, constructed c. 1935, served as the residence of the Jenkins family through the 1970s. The home, primarily constructed of timber on brick piers with front elevation brick base columns, features the American Craftsman style of architecture. Two porches were added soon after construction.
John Wesley Jenkins died the year the house was completed. It was occupied by Amelia Jenkins (1894-1966) and her children over the next 30 years. The farm became a model of success and flourished into one of the highest grossing African American farms in Alabama. The Jenkins Farm and family received national recognition, celebrating the success of an African American family in the 1950s-1960s during the turbulent years of segregation in Alabama. The farm has been designated an Alabama Century & Heritage Farm and is included on the National and State Historic Registries. |
