Webb-Bonds-Bamberg House at Greensboro, AL (ca. 1855)

Antebellum, Historic Home | Greensboro in Hale County  

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This beautiful antebellum home was constructed circa 1855 for Col. Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus DeYampert as a gift to his daughter, Julia, and her husband, John Henry Young Webb. It is a two-story structure that contains a hipped roof with heavily bracketed cornice. The front of the house has a full portico supported by six large square masonry columns that extend the full height of the house. A balcony is centered above the front double-door entrance.

This house was photographed and recorded in the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1935. It is a contributing property to the Greensboro Historic District that listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The house is also featured on the cover of Spying on the South: An Odyssey Across the American Divide by Tony Horwitz (New York Times Bestselling Author of Confederates in the Attic).

The Webb-Bonds-Bamberg House is located at 504 Main Street in Greensboro (Google Maps).

This is a private residence – drive by only. The house is on a large wooded lot and you get only glimpses of it from Main Street.
