Hawthorne, Renaissance Revival plantation in Prairieville, Alabama, US.

The Hawthorne plantation house features a two-story main section, a three-story tower, and French doors opening onto a surrounding porch with corbel brackets.

Built in 1818 and renovated after the Civil War, Dr. James Daniel Browder transformed the original 30-room structure with architect J.W. Tayloe's design expertise.

The property represents the evolution of plantation architecture in Alabama, demonstrating the transition from antebellum estates to post-Civil War residences.

Visitors can access historical documentation and architectural details through the National Register Information System database, which includes photographs and structural descriptions.

The mansion combines Italian Villa elements with local building traditions, featuring a basement level that remains intact from the original 1818 construction.
