Woodlands (Gosport, Alabama)

Residential Buildings

Woodlands is a historic plantation house near Gosport, Alabama, built by Frederick Spaight Blount in 1840. It follows a Carolina cottage form blending Greek Revival and Creole influences, with a five-bay facade, sidelights and transom lighting, and a front porch carried on eight fluted Doric columns. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 28, 1980, for its architectural significance, and was also designated on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage the same year.

The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
