Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Agee House in Birmingham, Alabama, at 1804 Twelfth Ave. S., was built around 1900. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

It is significant as the "only existing example of fully-developed Shingle style architecture in Birmingham": "The house features important features identified with the style such as an overall free form entirely covered with textured shingles, a hipped roof with multi-cross hipped dormers, a half round two-story bay with a roof which blends into the volume of the main house roofline, banded windows and wrap-around porches. Dissemination of the academic Shingle style across America during the late 19th century was widespread but never highly popular, and it is especially rare in Alabama."[2]

The house's wide eaves seems to evoke the later Prairie Style, and the repeated curves presages the later Streamline Moderne style.
