Asa White House, historic house in Eutaw, Alabama, United States
The Asa White House is a two-story frame house in Eutaw, Alabama, built in 1838 by Asa White. It was originally built in the Federal style and later altered with Greek Revival-influenced details. The house was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
The house was built in 1838 by Colonel Asa White, who donated 20 acres of his land to establish Eutaw as the county seat, including plots for a courthouse and public buildings. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
The house carries the name of its builder, Asa White, one of the first settlers in the area. It reflects how wealthy families of that era used their homes to show their position in the growing community.
The house is a private residence, so visitors can only view it from outside while passing by or driving. It sits at the corner of Mesopotamia and Eutaw Streets, making it easy to locate on a map.
The house is also known as the White-McGiffert House. Asa White was one of Greene County's earliest settlers, and Eutaw itself was established on land he owned: in 1838 he conveyed 20 acres for the courthouse, civic buildings and commercial district, then sold residential lots to individuals.
