DESCRIPTION

97 words

Source document Quoted word for word from HABS ALA,33-GREBO,1-. Not written, edited or summarised by this site.

The six columned front porch gives the house a frank and severe expression, softened only by the light use of the pediment. This house is a curious example of stuccoing the front and columns only, and leaving the sides and rear exposed in brick. The rear still has the porch and slave quarters, both of rery striking appearance. The interior has an interest- ing winding stairway, but otherwise is rather plain. Source of Material: E. Walter Burkhardt, District Administrator, HABS. Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Alabama. (Revised at HABS Headquarters, March by . Original sheet in field notebook).
