Bates House, c. 1837 471 Schusse Lane Built by Joseph Bates, this rural cottage originally contained only three rooms, one room deep, and a long rear gallery. Still retaining its early style, the house has a clapboard second story raised about eleven feet above its brick ground story. The second story portico with square Tuscan columns is supported by plain brick piers. The building is unusual in that it retains all of its early Carpenter door locks. Since they are signed Carpenter, not Carpenter and Young, they must predate 1830.

Winter Date of Birth: September 13, 1913 Date of Interview: June 23, 1983 Interviewer: Lalie Felis Assistant: Sherry Chavis Patricia G. Harrison Coordinator - Oral History Project Notes: The general theme of the oral history interviews was "Growing Up in Mobile: Depression and Wartime, 1929-1949." Many of the questions pertained to the Depression or to World War II. However, many of the persons interviewed were young adults during the Depression or World War II. Some of these interviews, therefore, are valuable in illustrating what it was like to grow up in Mobile during an earlier period. The young people prepared a standard interview. They adapted this interview to fit the individual. Two of the interviews - those of Elizabeth Vickers Courtney and Robert Hunter - pertain to growing up in Spring Hill . Robert Hunter also includes some information regarding Spring Hill College. He also discusses historic preservation in Mobile. The interview with Mrs. Edith McClain contains information relating to black Episcopalians in the South. She also discusses black leadership in Mobile. She was the first black librarian with a degree in Mobile. Mrs. Dorothy Bivens was interviewed in her office at Bishop State Junior College. A central air conditioner ran during the interview. The tape is audible. However, this tape is not as clear in portions as are most of the other tapes. Walter Allen did not grow up in Mobile., He states that he grew up "out in the country". He was drafted into the army in 1942. Tom Oberding, the assistant, began interviewing Mr. Allen when the interview was underway. The Young Interviewees were not always able to change their prepared interviews when the subject did not fit the pattern. This is apparent in parts of this interview. Most of the remaining interviews pertain to Mobile during the Depression or World War II. Many of the interviews are excellent and are historically valuable. Mrs. Teach Beck LeFlore (Mrs. John L. LeFlore, Sr.) was interviewed during this project. Unfortunately the recorder malfunctioned or some other problem prevented this tape from being audible. Joey Brackner who assisted with the interview has included some notes relating to this interview. The interviews were conducted during the summer of 1983. Project Coordinator: Patricia G.

Humanities professionals in the fields of oral history and architectural history, and other qualified staff, will supervise intensive workshops in the research methods of their areas of expertise for approximately fifty young people between the ages of 12 and 18. The young people will be acquainted with what the study of the humanities means, especially as it relates to their study projects. Then the young people will do field work to collect the materials to support the general theme of the project, which is "What was it like to grow up in Mobile in the 1930s and 1940s?" Eventually, the information will be made available to not only the youth population of Mobile, numbering 80,000, but to all of the public libraries patronage.
