Bride's Hill, Historic plantation house in Wheeler, Alabama, United States.
The house features a broad central hall with a reverse-flight stairway and two large rooms separated by a deep cellar with ground-level windows.
The construction of Bride's Hill began in 1830, and a member of the Dandridge family, Martha Washington's cousins, established this Tidewater-type cottage.
The residence represents the colonial Virginia architectural pattern with its double-square formula design, where the front elevation length measures twice its height.
The National Register of Historic Places included Bride's Hill in 1986, marking its architectural value and supporting preservation initiatives through federal recognition.
The structure contains a cantilevered chimney pent, forming a narrow shed-roofed projection against the left chimney, which stands as an uncommon architectural element.
