Waldwic, Historic plantation district in Gallion, Alabama.

The plantation house displays Carpenter Gothic architecture with detailed wooden trim, steep gables, and symmetrical windows along Alabama Highway 69.

Robert Gracey established Waldwic in 1840 as a galleried farmhouse, which underwent Gothic Revival renovations in 1852 by enslaved craftsmen Peter Lee and Joe Glasgow.

The plantation complex illustrates the agricultural practices, social structures, and architectural preferences of mid-nineteenth century Alabama landowners and enslaved laborers.

The property maintains its historical structures and outbuildings, allowing researchers and visitors to examine nineteenth-century plantation construction techniques.

The design closely follows William H. Ranlett's 'Waldwic Cottage' architectural plans from 1851, making it one of twenty remaining Gothic Revival houses in Alabama.
