Description

The Goode-Hall House is located in Town Creek Alabama. After several tours of Lawrence County, the home is constructed in 1824 by Reverend Turner Saunders. Saunders had been a Methodist minister and planter from Brunswick County, Virginia. Saunders had sold the home in 1844 to Freeman Goode. The Hall family acquires the home at a later time.

The Goode-Hall House is an excellent example of Classic Revival with late Georgian trim and detail. It resembles Belle Mina and the State Bank in Decatur except for the Federal double chimney gable parapet walls on the side. The Government Land Office has purchased the land in 1820.
