Scottsboro Memphis and Charleston Railroad Depot 0.21 7
Railway Stations, Industrial Facilities, Interesting Places

The Scottsboro Memphis and Charleston Depot is a historic train station in Scottsboro, Alabama, USA. Built in 1861 on the eve of the American Civil War, the depot is one of three remaining antebellum depots in Alabama built by the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, and the only one outside Huntsville. On January 8, 1865, it was the site of a skirmish between members of the 101st and 110th U.S. Colored Infantry Regiment and Confederate forces which resulted in the retreating rebels setting fire it.

After being heavily damaged during the war, the rail line and depot became operational again in 1866. While the line and depot changed hands several times in the late 1800s, the depot served both passengers and freight until 1892, when a separate passenger depot was constructed by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway.

The depot continued to service freight until it was closed by Norfolk Southern in the 1980s. Restoration began in 1991 and today it houses the Scottsboro Depot Museum. The building is divided into a 30 x 46 foot (9 x 14 m) freight room and a 30 x 18 foot (9 x 5.5 m) office. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

The Brown\u2013Proctor House is a historic residence in Scottsboro, Alabama. The house was built in 1881 by John A. Brown, who sold it just one year later. He sold the house to General Coffey, who bought the house for his daughter Sarah, for 3,200 dollars. John Franklin Proctor, a politician who served in the Alabama Legislature from 1892 through 1899 and was an attorney for the Scottsboro Boys in 1931, purchased the house in 1907. Proctor made numerous renovations to the house, including altering the two-story front portico with Tuscan columns into its current state of a single-level porch supported by Ionic columns with a central second floor balcony. A three-room addition was also built onto the back of the house, adding to the central hall plan of the original house. After his death in 1934, Proctor's family owned the house until 1981.

The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1981 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

The family name Snodgrass is said to originate from lands in the parish of Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland, known as Snodgrasse, or Snodgers, at a bend in the River Garnock at 55\u00b038' north, 4\u00b042' west, which were rented out in plots. Both forms are recorded in Ayrshire and in Glasgow between the 13th and 16th centuries. The name means \"smooth grass\" (Juncus), i.e. grass without nodes, in Middle English. In 1528 a charter from the King lists the lands of \"Snotgerss\" as being one of the confirmed possessions of Hugh, third Earl of Eglinton; the next record seen of the name is in the late 17th century.
