Rosemount, sometimes called the Grand Mansion of Alabama, is a Greek Revival plantation house near Forkland in Greene County, Alabama, designed in 1832 by state architect William Nichols and built in stages between 1835 and the 1850s on land developed by Allen Glover for his son Williamson Allen Glover. The house has a monumental two story Ionic portico and twenty rooms, including matching great halls on each main floor about 60 feet long, and once anchored a 3,000 acre estate whose enslaved population the Glover family held at more than 300 people between 1830 and 1860. Rosemount was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and underwent a major restoration beginning around 2005.
