Westwood, Historic district in Alabama, United States

Westwood is a plantation and historic district near Uniontown, Alabama. James Lewis Price began the main house in 1836 and finished it by 1850 in the Greek Revival style with Italianate touches. The outbuildings include a smokehouse detailed like the main house, a carriage house, a dairy and a cook's quarters.

James Lewis Price moved from Richmond, Virginia, to Perry County in 1835 and began building Westwood in 1836, naming it after his grandfather's Virginia home. Enslaved workers cleared the land and built the estate, including the main house, finished by 1850. The 1860 census recorded 108 enslaved people held by Price. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district on November 21, 1974, with boundary increases in March and December 1984.

The name comes from the Virginia home of James Lewis Price's grandfather. The estate was built by enslaved people Price held; the 1860 Perry County census lists 108. Westwood remains in the hands of Price descendants, and the smokehouse carries the same architectural detailing as the main house.

Visitors can walk through the area and study the architectural details of the facades and porches. Researching the Alabama Historical Commission beforehand helps understand the background of individual structures.

The 1860 Perry County census recorded that James Lewis Price owned 108 enslaved people, the labour force behind Westwood's construction. The outbuildings include a smokehouse whose architectural detailing matches the main house, plus a carriage house, a dairy and a cook's quarters.
