Hopson Owen Subdivision 1911 https://tavm.omeka.net/items/show/408
Most of the residential lots in the area bounded by University Boulevard, Gene Stallings Avenue (14th Ave.), Bryant Drive (10th Street) and Queen City Avenue (East Margin Street) were established from the subdivision of the land around three of Tuscaloosa's antebellum houses which were built with slave labor (Thomas Prince House[1854], Edmund Prince House[1840], Foster-Murfee-Caples House [1838]). The Foster-Murfee-Caples House is the only one of those houses still standing. It is on the east side of 17th Avenue between 8th Street and 9th Street.
