Foscue-Whitfield House, Federal style plantation house in Demopolis, Alabama.
The Foscue-Whitfield House features handmade brick construction across two and a half stories with a gabled roof and a five-bay facade at the front elevation.
Augustus Foscue constructed this residence in 1840, and after his death in 1861, his daughter Mary Alice and her husband Dr. Bryan Watkins Whitfield inherited the property.
The house represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Southern plantation owners during the mid-nineteenth century, with its Federal style design and substantial proportions.
The house maintains its original structural elements and underwent modifications in 1849 and 1920, including changes to its entrance portico and the addition of a front porch.
The property has remained within the same family lineage since its construction in 1840, experiencing continuous care and restoration by Foscue-Whitfield descendants.
