Long Description:
"Altwood is a historic plantation house located near Faunsdale,
Alabama. It was built in 1836 by Richard H. Adams and began as a
log dogtrot. It was then expanded in the so-called "Tidewater
cottage" style. Brought to the early Alabama frontier by settlers
from the Tidewater and Piedmont regions of Virginia, this
vernacular house-type is usually a story-and-a-half in height,
displays strict symmetry, and is characterized by prominent end
chimneys flanking a steeply pitched longitudinal gable roof that is
often pierced by dormer windows.
The house was moved to Cedar Crest Farms in 1988 and restored by
members of the Rankin family. It was added to the National Register
of Historic Places on July 13, 1993 as a part of the Plantation
Houses of the Alabama Canebrake and Their Associated Outbuildings
