Bermuda Hill, human settlement in Alabama, United States of America
Bermuda Hill is a two-story Greek Revival house built around 1845 near Prairieville in Alabama. The building features a large front porch supported by four columns, symmetrically arranged windows, weatherboard siding, and a log structure enclosed within its walls that dates to the earlier construction methods.
The house was acquired in 1845 by William Weeden after William W. Manning sold the land, though it remains unclear who actually built it. The Manning family were early settlers with land claims from French colonial grants, connecting this structure to Alabama's frontier settlement period.
The house is known locally as Liver House, named after a family with deep ties to the property. This connection between place and people shows how historic homes become part of family identity and local memory in rural Alabama.
The house sits in a quiet rural location near Prairieville and is accessible by the modern road that replaced the old stagecoach route closed in 1962. Visitors should check ahead since the property is somewhat overgrown and access conditions may vary.
The house fell into severe decline by 2011 but was completely restored by new owners in 2013, saving it from abandonment. This rescue preserves both the architectural example of 1840s construction and the tangible history of early Alabama settlement.
