The Judge Elisha Robinson House, also known as the Montgomery House and the Ritchie House is located on 5th Avenue South (US 231) a block from the square in Ashville, AL.
Judge Elisha Robinson was born in Alabama in 1846 and grew up to serve in the Confederacy, losing a leg in battle. Long after the war, he was appointed Probate Judge in St. Clair County by the Governor and then elected to two further terms by the people of the County. He and his wife Susan built their lovely Victorian Queen Anne home in 1890 within walking distance of the old St. Clair Courthouse.
The Robinson House is now home to the Roses and Lace Bed and Breakfast.
