Seeking information on the origins of Powderly, Alabama which is now part of Birmingham. When was Powderly annexed into Birmingham? I think the date was 1951 but I am not sure. Also do many old houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries survive in this community? Is anyone familiar with Grasselli Chemical Company which operated near Powderly from the early 20th century into the 1940's or beyond? Grasselli Chemical Company was purchased by Dupont in 1928. Finally I am also searching for information for a small community near Powderly called Trevelick. Does it still exist? Thanks for any help offered with this query. Doug Purcell Eufaula, AL
