Long Description:
"The Asa White House, also known as the White-McGiffert House, is a
historic house in Eutaw, Alabama, USA. It was built ca. 1836 by Asa
White, one of Greene County's earliest settlers. Eutaw was
established on property owned by Asa White. He conveyed 20 acres

is a two-story frame building. It was built in the Federal style
and later altered with the addition of Greek Revival-influenced
details. The house was recorded by the Historic American Buildings
