The home is victorian and gorgeous and located across the street from the Abandoned Arlington School building. This house was built in 1906 by architect William E. Benns for H. W. Sweet at a cost of $10,000. The house uniquely blended the Queen Anne and Neo-Classical architectural styles, featuring two identical pedimented entrance porticos supported by fluted Composite-order columns, full-length wrap around porches on the first and second stories, and an octagonal corner tower. H. W. Sweet (1866-1919) a native of South Carolina, was Bessemer's first undertaker and a furniture merchant. Henry W. Sweet (1902-1990) was his and Mattie Breen Sweet's (1865-1946) only child. Henry married Lucile Lytle (1902-1986) in 1925 Henry Wilson Sweet (1902-1990) contributed greatly to the economic, political and civic life of Alabama, Jefferson County, and Bessemer. As Jefferson County Commissioner, he helped bring the University of Alabama Medical Center to Birmingham, signing the deed conveying land and the Hillman - Jefferson Hospital Complex to UAB. Sweet was Director of the Alabama and Georgia State Docks and a candidate for Governor in 1954. While he was Alabama Docks Director, Mobile achieved its highest ever U.S. ports ranking. He also served as Treasurer of the Bessemer Division of Jefferson County, President of the American Association of Ports Authorities, and an International Director of Lions Clubs.

They were almost hostile to us at the end of the event and this is after paying $4,000.00 to them. They made us and our immediate family feel very uncomfortable. Even our family who came out of state noticed this. The event location is beautiful, but the owners don't seem to understand the importance of this too us. If I had to do this all over again I would definitely go elsewhere.

What? There's baseball in town the same week that I'm here for work? BASEBALL!…read more Tickets are quite inexpensive. I got a front row seat along the third base line for $12! The ticketing system works quite well and now I have a "free" souvenir because I chose "will call" instead of "print at home." The game was really good. The Barons hit a three run homer, got a double play and had a few other dramatic moments. Including the third base player chasing a foul ball that nearly landed in my lap. Good times! Yeah, there were a few bad calls by the umpires but they seemed to be evenly divided for the Barons and the Suns. As well, a few really poor plays like the pop up fly that hit the ground because the player fell on his butt. But then, this is Minor League and that sort of stuff happens. The Birmingham Barons are the AA farm team for the Chicago White Sox. Coincidence, the Charlotte Knights (my town!) are the AAA farm team for the Sox!
