Kenworthy Hall, also known as the Carlisle-Martin House, Carlisle Hall and the Edward Kenworthy Carlisle House, is a plantation house west of Marion, Alabama, built between 1858 and 1860. Designed by architect Richard Upjohn, it is considered one of the best-preserved examples of his distinctive asymmetrical Italian villa style, and the only surviving residential example of that style adapted to the southern climate and plantation life. The house has a massive four-story tower and windows of varying size and shape trimmed in brownstone.
