Sites of the Lee and Faulk Houses


Created with flickr slideshow.


The sites of the Lee and Faulk homes are on South Alabama Avenue, one of the major thoroughfares in town. Nothing remains of the Lee home, and all that remains of the Faulk home are portions of the foundation and the low stone wall that ran between the two yards.

There is a historical marker for Truman Capote on the site of the Faulk home, but there is nothing for Harper Lee; when the town wanted to erect one, she refused. In its place is just the Mel's Dairy Dream, the little hamburger and ice cream stand.
