More Than What We Had: An Architectural and Historical Documentation of the Village Creek Project Neighborhoods Birmingham, Alabama
Abstract
The Village Creek Architectural and Historical Documentation Project consisted of the preparation of measured floor plans for 26 historic structures; streetscape photographs for sections of East Birmingham and East Lake/Roebuck; historical research and photographic documentation of a church and store in East Birmingham and a Victorian Cottage in East Lake/Roebuck; oral historical interviews; and the preparation of a project report documenting these efforts. The neighborhoods under study: Ensley, East Birmingham, East Lake, and Roebuck, represents different responses to Birmingham's industrial expansion of the late nineteenth the early twentieth centuries. Ensley most closely resembles a company town, planned and developed as a distinct urban entity geared to the Ensley (later TCI and U.S. Steel) ironworks. (EMK)
