Cedar Grove Plantation, Greek Revival plantation in Faunsdale, Alabama.

Cedar Grove Plantation, also known as the Charles Walker House, is a two-story frame structure with a gabled roof and double veranda, built in a vernacular Greek Revival style. The original one-story porch with turned wooden columns and arched latticework was altered in 1915 to the multi-level configuration with paneled box columns seen today. The house stands near Faunsdale, Alabama, and includes a two-story schoolhouse behind it.

Cedar Grove began in 1830 as a two-story log house built by Scottish brothers Dougal and Malcolm McAlpin. In 1848 Charles and Margaret Walker bought the property and hired Virginia builder Theophilus Fowler to construct the main house, which was finished in 1858. The Walkers kept the estate until 1982; it was listed on the National Register in 1993.

The main house displays characteristic Greek Revival features with its two-story veranda and gabled roofline that reflect 19th-century building tastes in rural Alabama. The schoolhouse structures on the grounds remind visitors of the educational traditions that once centered on this property and shaped its identity over generations.

The estate sits on private property and is viewable only from the road or at distance from public areas. Visitors should respect the private residence and its grounds, refraining from entering the property without explicit permission from the current owners.

Nicola Marschall, a friend of the Walker family, lived with them briefly at Cedar Grove, and the two-story schoolhouse behind the main house is believed to have served as his studio. That schoolhouse taught local children until 1925.
