AL HR56

Urges the current owner of the Kilby House in Anniston, Alabama to seek registration on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage through the Alabama Historical Commission.

Kilby House was the private residence of Governor Thomas E. Kilby (served 1919-1923), the only governor from Anniston; Kilby moved to the house in 1887 and lived there until his death in 1943.

Anniston Board of Education acquired the property in the 1960s and preserved the structure; exterior remains a fine example of Georgian revival architecture despite interior modifications.

Property currently houses Cheaha Creative Arts, Inc., a nonprofit organization providing affordable fine arts education to children and adults.

Kilby House is already listed on the National Registry of Historic Places as of October 3, 1985; resolution directs copies be sent to the Kilby House After-School Fine Arts Program and the Alabama Historic Preservation Office.
