Description: Tolstoy Park, also known as the Henry Stuart House, is a historic site in Alabama that reflects the unique life and philosophy of Henry Stuart, an Englishman who, inspired by the writings of Leo Tolstoy, built a circular, domed house in the early 20th century. Stuart, who was diagnosed with tuberculosis, sought a simpler, healthier lifestyle and constructed the house using local materials, embodying principles of self-sufficiency and harmony with nature. The house, now a symbol of resilience and simplicity, stands as a testament to Stuart's dedication to living a life of purpose and reflection, drawing visitors interested in history, architecture, and the pursuit of a meaningful existence.
