Alfred Hatch Place at Arcola

The Alfred Hatch Place features a three-story brick structure with a temple-form design and a monumental tetrastyle Doric portico across the front section.

Built in 1856, this 3,000-acre plantation belonged to Alfred Parker Hatch, who established multiple agricultural estates after relocating from North Carolina to Alabama in 1840.

The property connects to the Vine and Olive Colony through Frederic Ravesies, one of the initial French settlers in the region during the early 1800s.

The property maintains its position on the National Register of Historic Places since 1988, preserving both architectural elements and historical documentation for research purposes.

The structure includes a full-width cantilevered balcony at the second level under the portico, with a Tudor arch window positioned in the pediment above.
