Meadowlawn Plantation, 1853 Greek Revival plantation in Lowndesboro Historic District, Alabama.
Meadowlawn, also known as the Hagood House, is a two-story frame plantation house in Lowndesboro, Alabama, built in the Greek Revival style. It has thirteen fluted Doric columns on two sides and balconies with wrought iron railings over both main entrance doors. Dicksonia Plantation, nearby, looked much the same before fires destroyed it in 1939 and 1964.
Meadowlawn was built in 1853 for Squire George Thomas (1797–1867). The house was later sold to Fort Williamson, and in 1905 it passed to Ransom Meadows (1846–1940), the last surviving Confederate veteran in Lowndes County. His daughter Aline Meadows Hagood lived there until her death at 99, and the house remains in the Hagood family.
Aline Meadows, born in 1880, married Robert Bragg Hagood on April 3, 1907, and her father Ransom Meadows deeded the house to the couple. She renamed it "Meadowlawn" in his honour and lived there until her death in 1979, aged 99. The house remains in the Hagood family.
The property is located within the Lowndesboro Historic District and is registered as a contributing property to the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors should explore the surrounding historic district to appreciate the building within the context of other preserved structures in the area.
