Altwood, Colonial agricultural settlement in Faunsdale, United States.
The Altwood plantation house features symmetrical architecture with prominent end chimneys and a steep longitudinal gable roof near Faunsdale, Alabama.
Richard H. Adams constructed Altwood in 1836 as a log dogtrot house, which later expanded to reflect the architectural influences from Tidewater Virginia.
The property stands as a testament to plantation life in Alabama, incorporating design elements that settlers from Virginia's Tidewater region brought to the frontier.
Altwood relocated to Cedar Crest Farms in 1988 for preservation purposes and received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1993.
The original log kitchen structure remains on site, providing direct evidence of nineteenth-century domestic practices and food preparation methods.
