Asa White House, historic house in Eutaw, Alabama, United States
The Asa White House is a historic residence in Eutaw, Alabama, built around 1838 with two stories standing on Mesopotamia Street. The structure blends Federal and Greek Revival architectural styles, featuring large windows, columned porches, and detailed interior woodwork including a curved grand staircase.
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, named after its early owners. A striking feature is its two-tiered front porch with six doorways, an unusual arrangement that gives the home its distinctive look.
