The Edward Fenns Whitman House is a historic residence in Boaz, Alabama. The house was built in 1924 by E. F. Whitman, a businessman who has served as Boaz's first mayor in 1896. Whitman was heavily involved in manufacturing development in the new town, and owned interests in a cottonseed oil mill, a fertilizer plant, an ice plant, a cotton mill which produced twine, and petitioned for a new highway (later replaced by U.S. 431) to be routed through Boaz. In 1924, he replaced his original frame house with a brick Craftsman-style home designed by prominent Birmingham architect William Leslie Welton. Built at the height of the Craftsman movement, its tiled roof and porch with heavy brick piers, exposed rafter ends, and rectilinear fireplace mantles are all representative of the style. Whitman sold the house in 1939; it was purchased by Dr. Marston Hunt in 1942 who was one of the founders of the Boaz-Albertville Hospital in 1956. The house was sold in 1992 and converted into a bed and breakfast hotel. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

The Thomas A. Snellgrove Homestead (also known as the Snellgrove-Sparks Homestead) is a group of three historic residences and their outbuildings in Boaz, Alabama. The houses are the last remnants of the plantation settled by Billy Sparks in 1878. Sparks was one of the first white settlers in what is now Boaz. In 1886 the community was granted a post office and assumed its current name. Thomas A. Snellgrove married one of Sparks' granddaughters in 1895, and purchased the remnants of the plantation in 1898, one year after the town was incorporated.

Snellgrove built a two-story, Greek Revival house in 1900. The house has many vernacular features, including a two-level, full-width front porch. A one-story, gable roofed tenant's house was built behind the main house in 1915. In 1938, Snellgrove built an English-inspired cottage, with a large shed roofed dormer, for his daughter. The houses were listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1995 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
