The Henry House in Guntersville, Alabama was built in 1895. Albert G. Henry Jr was a well-known merchant that who became the very first millionaire in the state of Alabama in 1880. He was credited with owning the second largest store in the state. His dad, Albert G. Henry, bought this property in 1853 and eventually handed it down to his son who had this home built in 1895. Believe it or not, Albert Jr became wealthy by utlitzing the credit system after the war devastated most of his finances. His brother built a home just across the street from this one that still stands today.
