Rosemount, historic plantation house near Forkland, Greene County, Alabama, United States

Rosemount is a Greek Revival plantation house near Forkland, Alabama, built in stages between 1832 and the 1850s. Its main block, designed in 1832 by state architect William Nichols and built in 1835, has three floors plus a mezzanine and a T-shaped plan for cross-ventilation. The exterior features a two-story Ionic portico, side porches, and a rooftop cupola, the largest residential example in Alabama.

Allen Glover of Demopolis gave the 3,000-acre property to his son Williamson Allen Glover in the early 1830s. State architect William Nichols designed the main block in 1832, and it was built in 1835 on a star-shaped hill. Williamson Allen Glover kept adding to and reconfiguring the rear and interior until 1855, raising sixteen children in its twenty rooms. The Glover family enslaved over 300 people from 1830 until 1860.

Rosemount was built by the Glover family, who enslaved more than 300 people between 1830 and 1860; five slave cabins stood behind the main house and a "slave village" about a mile away. Williamson Allen Glover raised sixteen children in the mansion's twenty rooms. The grounds once held formal gardens, a carriage house, a two-story servants' quarters, a schoolhouse, barns, a corn crib and a shop, none of which survive.

Rosemount stands on a star-shaped hill near Forkland, reached from Greene County roads; the house is private, so visits are arranged in advance rather than by walking in. The main block has three floors plus a mezzanine, and the 60-foot great halls on both main floors connect the entrance hall, twin parlors and dining room. The rooftop cupola, reached inside, opens onto a three-sided porch with Doric columns.

The rooftop cupola holds a music room measuring 16 by 25 feet, with double doors opening onto a three-sided porch with Doric columns. It is the largest residential cupola in Alabama, and it also vented hot air from the house.
