William Bankhead residence

The William Bankhead residence, located at 800 7th Avenue in Jasper's North Highlands neighborhood, was constructed in 1924 for Congressman William Bankhead.

The two-story Colonial-style brick house was designed by architect Bem Price. It served as the family's residence until the death of Bankhead's widow Florence.

The house was used by the Clarence Gardner family until it was acquired by Gerald Ivey and conveyed to the Walker Area Community Foundation, which renovated and opened the building to the public as the Bankhead House and Heritage Center in 2010.
