UPDATE: The J. W. McDonald House (c. 1925)

The McDonald house is a beauty on two lots (the corner lot is shaded and private). It is a cross- gabled bungalow with English Craftsman details. The construction is brick on a stuccoed brick foundation.
It features a full-facade, gabled porch with half-timbering and stucco in the gable face. There's a small 6-light window flanked by vents. Notice the blocks, pediment moulding and other details.
Most of the windows are original 6-over-1 sash. The original side porch has been enclosed in glass.
In 1911, the home's original owner founded J. W. McDonald Furniture Company in Bessemer. The company was located at 1816 3rd Avenue, North.
This wonderful home at 1711 Dartmouth Avenue is available at last! The 3-bedroom, 2-bath house was originally listed last and then taken off the market. Now it's back and only $95,900.
Several of members of the Bessemer Historical Homeowners Association reside on the street.
The listing agent is Jerry Morris Realty (205)481-1551. See the listing at Realtor.com.

UPDATE: This home sold and the new owners moved in last weekend. Welcome to Bessemer!
