Asa May House, Greek Revival residence in Capps, United States.

The Asa May House is a two-story Greek Revival farmhouse in Capps, set on a red brick foundation with a full-width porch carried by six square white columns on brick piers. Three dormers with multi-pane windows rise above the porch roof, the central one larger and pedimented, and a tall brick chimney with a corbelled cap stands to the right. Its exterior is cypress and its interior heart pine, both native to Florida.

The Greek Revival farmhouse may have been built around 1836 for Burwell Miles McBride after he moved from South Carolina to Territorial Florida, or in the late 1840s by enslaved people on Margaret Murray May's 1,000-acre plantation. Asa May, who married Margaret Martha Murray on December 23, 1846, became one of North Florida's wealthiest planters, owning over 3,000 acres in Jefferson County. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1972.

The name Rosewood Plantation predates the Asa May family; the house takes its later name from Asa May (1820-1878), who married Margaret Martha Murray on December 23, 1846. May was among North Florida's wealthiest planters, at one point holding over 3,000 acres in Jefferson County alone. The property is now privately owned.

The house can be viewed from the outside and gives visitors a clear look at the Greek Revival architecture of the region. Nearby historic buildings can also be explored to get a fuller picture of the architectural heritage in Jefferson County.

The house may have been built in the late 1840s by enslaved people on Margaret "Martha" (Murray) May's 1,000-acre plantation. Its cypress exterior and heart pine interior use woods native to Florida, and the bricks of the chimneys and piers are believed to have been made onsite.
