Winston Place, National Register of Historic Places building in Valley Head, Alabama
The two-story residence features a Colonial Revival porch wrapped around the structure and a tetrastyle portico added in the late 19th century.
William O. Winston, a Tennessee lawyer who moved to DeKalb County in 1838, constructed this mansion and later invested in the Wills Valley Railroad.
The property maintains original architectural elements from different periods, including a kerosene lantern in the foyer from its early days.
The mansion currently operates as a bed and breakfast establishment with three rental rooms plus a suite available for overnight stays.
The structure evolved from a simple two-room cabin with a dogtrot in 1831 to an L-shaped mansion through multiple expansions over 100 years.
