Alsobrook House-Cusseta, Alabama

The information on this house is limited. The only family name I could determine is Alsobrook. This Greek Revival is located in Chambers County.

Riverside-Stephens County, Georgia

Built in 1857, Riverside sits high on a hill overlooking the Tugaloo River in Stephens County, Georgia. The homestead has been in the Prather family since its inception. The Greek Revival structure is part of a larger piece of plantation land that still had several extant structures according to the 1982 National Register of Historic Places application.

According to the NRHP application, the Prathers used enslaved labor to farm their land. According to the 1860 Slave Census, the Prathers enslaved at least fifty people. For the 1850 census in South Carolina, it shows there were at least 45. It is safe to assume that the house was built by enslaved labor.

Smith House-Glenn Springs, South Carolina

Located in historic Glenn Springs, this transitional Greek Revival home belonged to Lillie Mae and Bill Smith. It was built in 1880. It’s still in the family, and they do have a desire to restore. I understand there is a grand staircase in the home. I highly recommend a visit to the town because of the historic buildings there.
