The Oaks, Historic plantation residence in Tuscumbia, Alabama, US.
The Oaks features Georgian architecture with a central portico, twin square columns, and twelve-over-twelve sash windows paired on both floors.
Abraham Ricks established the property after moving from Halifax, North Carolina in the 1820s, constructing a log house in 1818 and adding a larger structure in 1832.
The house reflects early 19th-century Southern residential design, incorporating a center-hall layout with weatherboard exterior and symmetrical room arrangement.
The Oaks remains a private residence and stands southeast of Tuscumbia off State Route 157 on Ricks Lane in Colbert County.
The original structure combines a 1.5-story log building with exterior chimneys at each gable end, connected to a later Georgian-style main house.
