John Coleman House

The John Coleman House, also known as Grassdale, is a historic plantation house in Eutaw, Alabama, USA. The two-story wood-frame I-house was built by John Coleman from Edgefield, South Carolina, on property that he settled in 1819. Coleman held 75 slaves during the 1840 United States Census of Greene County. The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Antebellum Homes in Eutaw Thematic Resource on December 6, 1982, due to its architectural significance. Coleman family members, as well as many slaves, are buried in a cemetery close to the house.

Famous quotes containing the words john and/or house:

    There is nothing more agreeable in life than to make peace with the Establishment—and nothing more corrupting.
    —A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)

    It is getting dark and time he drew to a house,
    But the blizzard blinds him to any house ahead.
    The storm gets down his neck in any icy souse
    That sucks his breath like a wicked cat in bed.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
