The Alabama Confederate Soldiers’ Home consisted of 22 buildings, including 10 cottages, an administrative building, a hospital, a mess hall, and barns. Staff size at the home varied; in 1927 the staff consisted of the Commandant, a doctor and nurse, a dairyman, two laborers, three dishwashers, two cooks, and two washerwomen.
The facility was intended to house a maximum of 100 residents. However, during its peak years (1914-1918), as many as 104 residents lived there.
