Leech–Hauer House

Historic house in Alabama, United States


The Leech–Hauer House was a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. It was built circa 1830 by professional carpenter William Leech. It was built in a transitional style between Federal and Greek Revival. The house was a two-story, L-shaped structure, with a front porch which was later enclosed. John G. Hauer purchased the house in 1904, and it remained a family residence until it was sold to a flower shop in 1974. It was purchased by physician (and later politician) Parker Griffith and his brother in 1977.[3] The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage and National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1][2] The house was subsequently demolished, and a modern medical office building was constructed on the site in 1988.
