Kirewakre -- Parkers

Parkers was named after a local family of Creole heritage who owned upwards of a thousand acres in the Fowl River and Kirewakre areas of South Mobile County. Several hundred acres would become Bell Camp by 1920, and through the constant improvements made to the land by Walter D. Bellingrath and his wife, this would become the yet more famous Bellingrath Gardens and Home.

The pavillion at Parkers was called a station by the locals. This is what it looked like in 1916.
