A Fashionable Home for Fido

You have a beautiful home full of comforts and unique spaces to call your own. Now isn’t it time for man’s best friend and your most loyal companion to have one of his or her own? J. Wright Building Company has you covered! Southern Living Custom Builder Program member and owner of J. Wright Building Company, Jeremy Wright created the perfect Dogtrot plan (#1953) with canine comfort in mind.

This exclusive design was inspired by the style of homes originally popular in Appalachia. The south is known for its intense summer heat, and this layout is ideal for keeping dogs of all sizes and ages cool and comfortable. A breezeway between the rooms (the dogtrot) ensures your fur babies are buffeted by breezes, and operable front windows maximize airflow. In cooler months, the breezeway doors and front windows can close to keep out bustling drafts. (more…)

Preserving the History of Alabama through Leadership

Tannehill Ironworks Historical State Park is a 2,060-acre Alabama State Park managed by the Alabama Historic Ironworks Commission. The park preserves and interprets the historic Tannehill Ironworks, one of the first iron-making operations in the Birmingham District (more…)
