Birmingham apartment-ites with a taste for architecture have quite an array of houses to take in throughout the town, but few of them offer anything truly special. One location offering up plenty of history, beauty and intrigue is the Arlington Antebellum Home and Gardens, a house and surrounding gardens taken straight from the late eighteen forties, and features not only beautiful architecture and some gorgeous gardens, but also a large collection of antiques and decorative arts that date back many generations. The Arlington Antebellum Home is the only antebellum home in all of Birmingham, and is even older than Birmingham itself, dating back to 1845. It once belonged to a famous judge in the town, Judge William S. Mudd, who later when one to become one of the ten founders of Birmingham. It features a number of gorgeous antiques the likes of which you can't find anywhere else in town, including a nice collection of 19th century furniture, silver, textiles, and paintings, as well as numerous other pieces of interest. There's no end to the historical significance that the house represents, and taking a step up those large, marble steps in like stepping back into the past. In addition to the beauty and historical significance of the grounds, Birmingham apartment-ites may also be able to rent certain parts of the house out for certain events. Luncheons, breakfasts or formal dinners can be held in the large, historic dining room, and weddings are often held in the beautiful gardens outside, and they even have a tea room perfect for small group meetings and parties. In addition to being so beauty and historic, the place is also a fantastic location to host events. History is an important part of any city, so you should explore the history of your city as much as possible. For those looking explore the history of the city that lies outside your Birmingham apartment, there are few places better than the Arlington Antebellum Home and Gardens, where some of the greatest figures in Birmingham history once stood, walked and even ate.
