Hosted by the Southeast Chapter
Remain in the safety of your home, virtually travel through the Southeast Chapter states, and join together sketching the same subject on the same day.
Built over an 18 year period between 1843-1861, Gaineswood is one of the most significant Greek Revival structures in the state of Alabama. Nathan Bryan Whitfield a cotton planter designed and built the home using pattern books by Minard Lafever and others. It is also likely he referenced the Greek antiquity documentation work of James Stuart and Nicholas Revett.
View here a short video of Gaineswood.
