The Street House is a historic cottage in Point Clear, Alabama, U.S.. It was built in 1906 for William Street. The house has remained in the family; by the 1980s, it belonged to H. Vaughn Street III. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 20, 1988.After his home on the Weeks Bay estuary was destroyed by a hurricane in 1906, farmer William Street moved his wife and children to Point Clear and built their house shortly after. William’s sons, Charles and Luther, aided their father in his farming activities until he died shortly after 1906. The family continued to reside on the land and Charles married in the late 1920s. The house was passed down through the generations and, despite being vacant from 1960–85, was renovated in 1984.

Battles Wharf Historic District
Battles Wharf Historic District

The Battles Wharf Historic District comprises a portion of Battles Wharf, Alabama, United States, between Mobile Bay and U.S. Route 98. The area, also called Battles, is a narrow stretch of bayfront with long, deep lots accessible by shell-paved lanes. Houses in the area date from about 1842 to the present day, and are in a distinctive wood-frame cottage style with tall windows and broad porches. Many houses feature so-called "rain porches," deep shed-roofed screened porches attached to the main house and elevated on short masonry piers. The district includes 14 contributing structures and two non-contributing structures. The properties are linked by a public footpath that serves as a thoroughfare. The district has principally functioned as a summer retreat for residents of Mobile, Alabama. The area was originally called Dadeville after the Robert Dade family who settled there in 1849. A resort hotel had been established in 1822 at Point Clear and the high shoreline overlooking Mobile Bay became a popular retreat. Several hotels were built in the 19th century. By the early 20th century the area had a school, a post office, an orphanage, several churches and two hotels. At about this time it became known as Battles, after the Battles family bought much of the property. The area declined from 1927 after a causeway was built across the bay to Mobile, taking traffic from the community. Battles Wharf was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 28, 1988.
