- This article is about the Highland Avenue residence, for the home on Carlisle Road, see Hassinger Castle.
The William Hassinger residence, a Victorian / Queen Anne house located at 2028 Highland Avenue near 20th Street South, was constructed in 1898 for William H. Hassinger. The house is of light-colored brick with prominent turrets and dormers punctuating its slate roof. A wrap-around verandah terminates at a molded gable over the front steps, which lead to an iron gate facing Highland Avenue.
For a long time, the house was used as an office for Daniel's Optician, and it remains the residence of Venoa Daniels.
The Alabama Historical Commission and Alabama Preservation Alliance named the Hassinger residence to its 2003 "Places in Peril" list, due to the ever-increasing threat of commercial redevelopment. In July 2007 the residence was appraised by the Jefferson County Board of Equalization and Adjustments at $459,300.
