The Conde–Charlotte House, also known as the Kirkbride House, is a historic house museum located in Mobile, Alabama. This museum is a significant part of the city's history, having been built in 1822 and serving as Mobile's first courthouse and city jail. The house was later purchased by Jonathan Kirkbride in 1849 and converted into a residence. It remained in the Kirkbride family until 1905, after which it was purchased by the Historic Mobile Preservation Society in 1940. The house has undergone several restorations, revealing the outlines of the old jail cells in the kitchen wing.

Architectural Styles of the Conde–Charlotte House

The Conde–Charlotte House was originally built in the Federal style, a popular architectural style in the United States in the early 19th century. However, it was later altered to reflect the Greek Revival style, another popular architectural style during the mid-19th century. This change in architectural style adds to the historical significance of the house, showcasing the evolution of architectural trends over time.
