Harrison-Hunter-Harper-Fuller House  "The Oaks" - circa 1849

Dallas County Historical Survey Candidate

If the county were to commission a Historic Survey of significant buildings, houses and locations the "Oaks" would certainly be at the top of the list.  The home was built by Kirkland Harrison in 1849.  The present owners purchased the property in 2000 and are continuing to renovate this Antebellum Greek Revival home.  Six massive columns support and expansive porch that runs the width of the home.  Seated on a ridge, this home has an impressive vista that takes in the wild nature of Alabama's landscape.
