Carson Place, also known as the Cox-Mayfield-Sutley House, is a historic mansion in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, U.S..

History

The house was first built in 1822-1825 for George Cox.[2] Its construction was extended by John J. Webster in 1827 for his widow, Mary Cox.[2] She extended it again in 1835 and lived in the house with her second husband and her son until 1869.[2] It was subsequently inherited by her daughter-in-law, Sarah Cox, and it became known as The Old Carson Place.[2] From 1923 to 1962, it belonged to Judge J. J. Mayfield.[2] By the 1970s, it belonged to Lawrence P. Sutley.[2]

Architectural significance

The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 7, 1985.[3]
