The house was built by Henry Stuart, an Englishman who had emigrated to the United States as a child. Stuart was living in Nampa, Idaho, when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and advised to move to a warmer climate to live out his days. In 1923, he purchased 10 acres (4 ha) outside Fairhope, Alabama, which he named Tolstoy Park. Stuart began building a circular, domed hut in 1925, pouring each concrete block himself. Construction was completed in less than a year, although delayed by a hurricane in September 1926. The house is about 14 feet (4.2 m) in diameter and sunk 2 feet (61 cm) into the ground. Six top-hinged windows circle the building, and there were two skylights in the roof that are now permanently closed. Stuart sought to live a simple life, growing much of his own food and weaving rugs on a loom he brought from Idaho. He kept a guestbook for visitors to sign; notably, lawyer Clarence Darrow visited the hut six times. Stuart left Alabama in 1944, moving to Oregon to live with his son, where he died in 1946. Today, the hut and a large oak tree are all that remain of Stuart's estate; a parking lot for a real estate office surrounds the hut.[2] A novel based on Stuart's life, The Poet of Tolstoy Park, was published in 2005. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1] References{{commons category|Tolstoy Park (Montrose, Alabama)}}1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a|dateform=mdy|accessdate=August 3, 2014}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Alabama}}{{Alabama-NRHP-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last=Wilson|first=Shaun|title=Stuart, Henry, House |url={{NRHP url|id=05000841}}|work=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=August 3, 2014|date=|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6RYmJLpft|archivedate=August 3, 2014|deadurl=no}} See also: {{cite web|title=Accompanying photos|url={{NRHP url|id=05000841|photos=y}}|accessdate=August 3, 2014|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6RYmKQ222|archivedate=August 3, 2014|deadurl=no}} 3 : Houses completed in 1926|Houses in Baldwin County, Alabama|National Register of Historic Places in Baldwin County, Alabama |
