Magnolia Grove, Greek Revival mansion in Greensboro, Alabama.
The two-story brick residence features six Tuscan Doric columns supporting the front facade and contains a central hall with two rooms on each floor.
Built around 1840 for Isaac Croom during Alabama Fever, the house later became home to Spanish-American War hero Richmond Pearson Hobson in his youth.
The residence exhibits the architectural elements of Greek Revival design, with its pedimented temple form representing the antebellum period in the American South.
Located at 1002 Hobson Street, the museum opens Thursday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM with admission fees ranging from 4 to 7 dollars.
The interior maintains original Croom and Hobson family furnishings, including the USS Merrimac name board and a silver cup presented to Richmond Hobson in 1900.
