The Dr. James J. Bothwell House is a historic residence in Ashville, Alabama. The house was built in 1835 for James Bothwell, the second doctor in Ashville, and also a clerk of the circuit court. It is a two-story Federal-style house, with a two-story pedimented portico supported by four Doric columns. In 1852 a wing was added to the rear of the house for a kitchen and dining room on the ground floor and a bedroom above. Another ground floor bedroom wing was added in 1882. Another bedroom was added above in 1917, and the area between the wings was enclosed.[3] The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1][2] It is to be sold at auction in May 2014.[4]
