One of the oldest structures in Alabama, built the year before it became a state, has been luxuriously renovated as a private residence, and it can be yours for $1.4 million.

The old Public Inn, built in 1818 as Huntsville’s first hotel, is a familiar sight in the downtown historic district. The exterior of the Federal-style clapboard building, flanked by two red-brick chimneys, looks much as it did when it was constructed. The interior has been fully renovated in stunning style with “updated kitchens, bathrooms, fixtures, and brand-new appliances,” said broker Amanda Howard in the listing.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has a metal historic marker out front.

The Public Inn was constructed at the corner of Williams Avenue and Madison Street and was rolled on logs to its current site in 1925. It is now located about a block from Constitution Village, the preserved buildings used for the state’s first Constitutional Convention, now a tourist attraction.

The application for the structure’s National Register listing says: “The building is believed to have housed delegates to the nearby Alabama Constitutional Convention in 1819.” Delegates included pioneering Alabamians such as John Williams Walker, Clement Comer Clay, Samuel Cook and William Rufus King. King would go on to be elected vice president of the U.S. in March 1853, serving about five weeks before dying in office in April, according to the Encyclopedia of Alabama.

The 17-room building includes three fireplaces.

In her listing, Howard says the home has potential beyond use as a single-family residents: “This unique property, a separately metered Duplex, presents a rare opportunity in this prime location. Immerse yourself in its timeless charm with historic hardwoods and a seamless blend of classic and contemporary features … Enjoy the elegance of quartz countertops and custom hardwood cabinets with soft-close hinges, complemented by fresh paint that breathes new life into the space. This property can be easily closed off and divided into two distinct living spaces.”
