Originally located off Patton Chapel Road in what is today Hoover, Alabama, the Sunshine and Dorothy Morton House was built as a country home for L. P. Siegel circa 1931. It was purchased in 1942 by Boyette Edgar Morton and his wife Dorothy, who reared five children there: Steve, Barry, Katha Lee, Lynn, and Todd, and added an addition in 1947-1949 that was not moved with the house. Boyette Edgar Morton, born in East Lake on September 6, 1911, was known throughout his life as Sunshine, a nickname given by his maternal grandmother, Katie Sanders, about 1915. Dorothy Allen Pritchett Morton was born near Mobile, Alabama, on October 12, 1912, and she and Sunshine married on November 11, 1934, after living in Tarrant City, Huffman, and Shocco Springs before buying the log house. Sunshine became a successful concrete contractor and finished his career with Robins Engineering; his son Barry later became chief executive officer and majority owner of the company after it was renamed Robins & Morton in 1990. Sunshine died in 1963, and Dorothy remained in the house until June 1997 before her death in June 2004. The house was moved to Brierfield Park in March 2005 by the Morton family, restored over the next two years by restoration specialist Russell “Rusty” Cruthers, given, restored, and furnished by the Morton family in 2007, and officially listed that year on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage. The structure is an excellent example of rustic-style architecture, using log, stone, and other materials finished to blend harmoniously with a natural setting, a style also seen in the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone National Park and in many buildings constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in federal and state parks in the 1930s and 1940s.
