Bluff Hall

The two-story brick mansion features six square columns supporting a front portico, with a balcony spanning the entrance doors supported by iron brackets.

Built in 1832 by Allen Glover for his daughter Sarah and her husband Francis Lyon, the house underwent Greek Revival modifications during the 1840s.

The double parlor contains two historic columns that came from the neighboring Whitfield family residing at Gaineswood, reflecting local social connections.

The Marengo County Historical Society maintains the property as a museum, displaying nineteenth-century antiques, furniture, clothing, and textile collections.

The residence stands on White Bluff, a limestone cliff above the Tombigbee River, at the landing site of French settlers who established the Vine and Olive Colony.
