La cathédral actuelle a été précédée par une basilique paléochrétienne (Ve siècle) et une grande église carolingienne (IXe siècle). Commencée en 1211, la construction a été achevée pour l'essentiel dans les anées 1270-80. Les parties hautes datent des XIVe et XVe siècle. La Galerie des Rois perpétue la mémoire du baptême de Clovis en ce lieu. Depuis cet événement, trente-et-un rois de France ont été sacrés dans la cathédrale. Au-dessus du portail central, la grande statuaire célèbre la royauté de Notre-Dame, couronnée par Jésus, son fils enfanté pour que le monde soit sauvé. La Passion à gauche, la Résurrection au-dessus de la rose central et la Parousie, retour glorieux du Christ à droite, résument la foi et l'espérance de l'Eglise.
Live acts on the Front Lawn have entertained thousands over the past century. To name just a few: lion & tiger tamers, flying trapeze acts, high diving shows (including horses!), Freddy's Funny Ford, alligator wrestling, song & dance shows, magicians, Elsie the Cow, the Quasars aerial act, a human cannonball and even Rochester's Houdinii (with two i's) doing a straight-jacket escape - hanging 100 feet in the air from a crane!

In 1915, Samuel Oliver Wylie Bell, at one time Village Trustee, bought out his partner George Daines in the combined furniture store and undertaking establishment and built a two story brick structure. In 1929, the store was remodeled and S.S. Kresge moved in and occupied the space until 1953. Although the building has been considerably altered, it still retains its two bay configuration.
Elmer Huston had this building constructed with two stores on the ground level and apartments above in 1923. It housed the post office and a variety store from 1924 to 1928. In 1929, the Mulholland Dry Goods Company moved into both spaces. The original building had a decorative transom with prismatic glass panes above the display windows, which was typical of the early 20th century storefronts. The building has retained its steep side gable roof and the original configuration of the symmetrical second floor windows.
Americanization was difficult for the Issei. Prejudice, language barriers and discrimination often stymied their efforts, yet they persisted, often venturing into Western society with great zeal. With the Nisei generation, however, the Japanese community took a huge leap forward in Americanization. Citizens by birth and pushed by their parents to assimilate into mainstream American society, the Nisei eagerly embraced the new experiences and freedoms of American life and passed their values and passions on to succeeding generations.

One of the premier antebellum structures in the city, the house was built by Charles Richards, a riverboat captain originally from Maine. The building is considered to have Mobile's finest cast iron, featuring figures in a garden setting and representations of the four seasons. The brackets beneath the eaves are characteristic of the Italianate style. This motif is repeated in the elaborate doorway. Red bohemian glass glows in the full sidelights and transom, and is best viewed from the interior. The double parlors have two exceptional Carerra marble mantel pieces. The light fixtures are extraordinary with three Cornelius and Baker gasoliers and a Bacarat crystal chandelier in the dining room. The building was donated to the City of Mobile in 1972 and is operated as a museum by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
