William Poole House

The William Poole House exhibits strong symmetry with thick fluted Doric columns extending across its front facade, creating a substantial portico entrance.

Built during the architectural movement of the early 19th century, this plantation house represents the expansion of Greek Revival style across the American South.

The structure reflects the social and economic patterns of antebellum Alabama through its grand scale and classical architectural elements.

Located on the National Register of Historic Places, the house serves as a reference point for studying 19th-century American residential architecture.

Each column of the house features precise tapering toward the top, following measurements derived from actual ancient Greek temple proportions.
