The Moody-Warner House was built around 1822 by Alabama merchant Davis Scott as his Tuscaloosa home. The house had a series of owners until it became the home of the Washington Moodys. Moody was the grandson of the founder of the First National Bank.

The house was restored in 1977 by art collector Jack Warner and eventually became a museum named in honour of Jack Warner's mother, Mildred Grace Westervelt Warner (1893-1974). The museum closed and the house was put up for sale in 2003.
