Maj. James B. Bailey House, Antebellum plantation residence in Gainesville, United States.

The two-story wooden Bailey House features traditional plantation architecture with broad verandas and symmetrical design elements spanning nearly one acre of land.

Major James B. Bailey constructed this residence in 1854, contributing to the relocation of Alachua County's administrative center from Newnansville to Gainesville.

The residence demonstrates the architectural preferences and social patterns of wealthy Florida landowners during the pre-Civil War period.

The property, located at 1121 Northwest 6th Street, received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1972 under reference number 72000301.

Workers constructed the house using materials sourced directly from the building site, reflecting the construction methods of early Florida settlements.
