The Gen. Albert Gallatin Jenkins House, historically called Green Bottom, is a plantation residence on the east bank of the Ohio River about seven miles north of Lesage in Cabell County, West Virginia, built around 1835 in late Federal style as a two-and-a-half-story brick house on a sandstone foundation with a center-hall plan. It was the home of Albert Gallatin Jenkins, who served two terms in the United States House of Representatives before joining the Confederate Army and rising to brigadier general. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the house is now operated as a museum by the West Virginia Division of Culture and History.
