Spring Villa, Gothic Revival plantation house in Opelika, Alabama, US
Spring Villa stands as a one-and-a-half-story wooden structure with three bays, steep cross-gables, and decorative sawnwork balconies on the upper windows.
The house was built in 1850 by William Penn Yonge next to a 30-acre spring-fed lake, later becoming part of a 325-acre public park in 1927.
The property features architectural elements from the Carpenter Gothic style, making it one of twenty remaining examples of Gothic Revival residential architecture in Alabama.
The building now functions as the centerpiece of Spring Villa Park, offering visitors access to extensive grounds and recreational facilities throughout the year.
Local stories tell of William Penn Yonge's death on the thirteenth step of the house's staircase, with a dark stain marking the spot until repairs.
