Enjoyed a wedding recently at a historic venue in Florence Alabama. Pickett Place, as the historic marker indicated, was built in 1833 by Thomas Crowe. "It later became the home of Richard Pickett who arrived in 1843 to become one of the town's leading attorneys. Pickett was Colonel of the 10th Alabama Infantry under General Philip Roddey, called the "Defender of North Alabama" during the Civil War." The interior of the house had many period furnishings. Some rooms had beautiful stained glass. Across the street is Pope's Tavern, the Lambeth Home, another antebellum house. This building was used by both the Confederate and Union troops as a hospital at different times during the WBTS.
