The Harry Jackson residence is a stately Red Mountain residence located at 2500 Aberdeen Road. It was designed by architect Charles McCauley and constructed in 1937 for physician Harry Lee Jackson.

During the Civil Rights Movement the house was shared by First Presbyterian Church minister Edward Ramage, his wife Katherine and their children. For his liberal approach to integration he was drummed out of the pulpit in 1963.

The house, later owned by another physician, Jorge Cacaras, served in 1978 as the third-ever Decorators ShowHouse, and the first within Birmingham's city limits.

The house is currently owned by attorney James Bradford.
