Summary

Description
English: Picture circa: 1960. The house was build by Thomas Holland for his second wife, Sarah Winslow Davidson Woods. It was the center piece of his 2100 acre plantation and considered a frontier mansion.

The house was a clapboard clad two story log cabin with a center dogtrot. The dogtrot had wainscoting and chair rails on its walls. The dogtrot was used extensively by the family in the summer months and provided a means to keep the family cool.

The house had two interior staircases. The young men of the family lived on one side of the home and the young women and parents lived on the other side.

The slave quarters still stood in the 1960s. They were located to the front and west of the home. The cemetery for the enslaved persons was located to the home's northwest not far from the house.

The house was destroyed by arson in 1997 after having achieved some notoriety. It was used for the haunted house scenes in Walt Disney Pictures 1995 "Tom and Huck" starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

The allee of oak trees, which was on the path to the home's south facing facade, was destroyed by a tornado on April 27, 2011. Only a couple of the trees remain.
