***************************************
History of the Powledge House-
In 1844, Gideon Powledge moved to East Alabama from Georgia to receive title to his land on the west side of Chewacla Creek in what is now Lee County, Alabama. A Methodist Preacher, Powledge cleared the lands, set up a blacksmith shop and preached in the Methodist churches in the area. He is also credited with constructing a grist mill on the creek south of his home and later a cotton gin. In 1851 he built this federal-style historic home.
The design of the Powledge House is unique since it did not have a wide central hall as did many southern homes of the period. The style of this house could have been found in the Tidewater Virginia or the Carolinas as early as the time of the Revolutionary War or before. There are few such examples remaining today.
The story and half house originally had six rooms - four downstairs and two upstairs. The house has two unusual front windows, each section with nine panes and each window with glass sidelights. The two front doors are framed by sidelights and an overhead glass transom. The two front doors open into two large rooms which were originally multi-purposed rooms (parlors, bedrooms and eating areas). The two smaller rooms behind them were connected by a covered porch area. These smaller rooms have been restored as a kitchen and master bath. The porch area has been enclosed to provide a dining area. The original kitchen was away from the house, connected by a breezeway.
The back stairs lead to the upstairs sleeping area which was used by the children. One of the upstairs rooms has been converted to a bathroom and dressing room.
The fireplace mantel in the parlor on the right side of the house is of significant note because of its elaborate design. Perhaps Rev. Powledge felt that a man of his importance in the community needed to have a parlor that reflected his position.
The Powledge House is recognized by the Alabama Historical Commission as a Historic Landmark.
