Borden Oaks, Antebellum plantation district in Greensboro, Alabama.
The Federal style mansion features a two-story structure with a hipped roof and five bay facade incorporating a central two-tiered porch design.
The property, originally named Locust Lawn, was constructed in 1835 by John Scott Gray and later renamed Borden Oaks after Martha Thompson's marriage to Richard Borden.
The architectural elements of Borden Oaks reflect the design principles from Asher Benjamin's The Practice of Architecture, published in 1833.
The property maintains its private status, requiring visitors to obtain permission and schedule appointments before planning their exploration of the grounds.
Original porch columns, temporarily relocated to another house in Greensboro after 1924, returned to Borden Oaks during restoration with newly fabricated bases.
