Description
This daguerreotype of a white columned Greek Revival house is believed to be the Mobile, Alabama home of Kiah Bailey Sewall and his wife Lucretia Bailey Sewall, the daughter of Portland merchant Ezekial Day. A Bowdoin educated attorney, Kiah Sewall practiced law in Mobile for two decades before the Civil War. Despite financial loss and personal risk, the Sewalls chose to remain in Mobile during the war as Union loyalists.
