Borden Oaks, Antebellum plantation district in Greensboro, Alabama.

Borden Oaks is a two-story frame house in the Federal style with a hipped roof, set near Greensboro, Alabama. Its five-bay front has a central two-tiered porch over the main doorways, and a two-story ell of matching proportions extends from the rear. The doorways carry sidelights and transoms based on a design in Asher Benjamin's The Practice of Architecture (1833).

The property was built in 1835 initially named Locust Lawn and gained its current name after Martha Thompson married Richard Borden. Later it was registered as a historic place on the national level, recognizing its importance to the region's architectural heritage.

The name changed from Locust Lawn to Borden Oaks after Martha Thompson Cocke Gray remarried Richard Benjamin Borden, a widower from Carteret County, North Carolina, on November 3, 1845. The house stayed in the family: Martha's son John Ruffin Gray died in 1862 at the Battle of Fredericksburg, and a later descendant, Mary Esther Borden Coleman, recovered the porch columns.

The property is privately owned, so visitors should contact the owners in advance and schedule a visit before coming to explore. Permission and an appointment are necessary requirements for anyone wanting to see the grounds.

The porch was removed after 1924 and its columns reused on a house in Greensboro, their lower sections cut down to fit. When that house was demolished late in the 20th century, descendant and owner Mary Esther Borden Coleman recovered the columns; her son Bestor Wynne Coleman then restored the exterior and rebuilt the portico, with new paneled bases made to match the original proportions.
