A 50 by 140 foot lot holds the George Levy House, also known as the Allan Bailey House, a one-story home in Mobile, Alabama. This one-story residence was built in 1927 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and it sits modestly on a 50 by 140 foot lot. The house's informally landscaped setting gives you a sense of a residential parcel shaped by domestic life rather than grand formality.
In 1991 the George Levy House received formal recognition when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 12, 1991, as part of the Spanish Revival Residences in Mobile Multiple Property Submission. Stand close enough to note the scale: it is single-story, and its proportions read at the scale of a residence. As you move around the lot you can consider how the 50 by 140 foot parcel defines the house's relationship to the street and yard.
The two names—George Levy and Allan Bailey—remind you this house has a layered local history even in its modest dimensions. Notice the informally landscaped grounds and the low, domestic silhouette of the 50 by 140 foot lot, home to both the George Levy and Allan Bailey names.
