The Parks E. Ball House is a historic house near Aliceville, Pickens County, Alabama. It is the only surviving antebellum brick house in the county.

Description and history[]

The rectangular, two-story Federal-style I-house was built in about 1830 for Parks E. Ball. Ball was born around 1803 in the Columbia, South Carolina area. He emigrated to Alabama as a young man and purchased this property in 1826.[2] Inside, the house follows the typical center-hall plan, with a single room to each side of the 12-foot wide passage on the first and second floors. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 18, 1982.[1]
