The Jefferson Franklin Jackson house is a historic house in Montgomery, Alabama. It is also commonly known as the Jackson-Community House mostly for housing various offices and functioning as a social and civic center in the recent years.
Built in 1853 by Jefferson Franklin Jackson, a US Attorney for northern and central Alabama, the Jefferson Franklin Jackson House was also owned by Thomas H. Watts, a former Alabama Governor, when he married Jackson’s widow. The house stayed in the family until well into the 20th century. It was used as a residential home until 1943 when it was acquired by the Montgomery City Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs.
The Jefferson Franklin Jackson House also served as a Girls Scouts headquarters. It also played a huge role during the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
