For the home in Savannah, Georgia, see [John Ash House (Savannah, Georgia)](/source/John_Ash_House_(Savannah,_Georgia)).

The **John Ash House**, also known as **Rowan House**, **Coker House** and **Rickles House**, is a historic residence near [Ashville, Alabama](/source/Ashville,_Alabama). [John Ash](/source/John_Ash_(American_politician)) emigrated from [York County, South Carolina](/source/York_County,_South_Carolina), first to [Georgia](/source/Georgia_(U.S._state)), later settling in what is today [St. Clair County, Alabama](/source/St._Clair_County,_Alabama) in 1817. Ash built a one-story [dogtrot](/source/Dogtrot_house) log house around 1820. In the 1830s, the house was extensively modified: three rooms and a second story were added to the house, and the exterior was covered with frame [siding](/source/Siding_(construction)). The central dogtrot was filled in, and the main portion now resembled an [I-house](/source/I-house). A triangular [pedimented](/source/Pediment) [gable](/source/Gable) adorns the front of the house, and each side has a brick chimney. A porch was added to the front of the house in the early 1900s.[3] The house was listed on the [Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage](/source/Alabama_Register_of_Landmarks_and_Heritage) in 1990 and the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 1991.[1][2]
