The Drish House, in Tuscaloosa, was built in 1837 for Dr. John R. Drish on his 450 acre estate.
The home was extensively remodeled in the Italianate style prior to the Civil War. This is when the 3 story tower in the middle was added.
Dr. John R. Drish reportedly died from falling down the stairs in 1867.
