Built by enslaved people between 1845 and 1850, this two-story Greek Revival frame house is a former plantation home set in 6 acres of landscaped gardens near downtown Birmingham, Alabama. It is also known as Arlington Historic House and, historically, as the Mudd-Munger House.
Inside, the house serves as a decorative arts museum, with a collection of 19th-century furniture, textiles, silver and paintings displayed in an antebellum setting. Outdoors, the grounds include a restored garden room that is used for special events.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 under the name Arlington. Its combination of period architecture, 19th-century interiors and its origins in enslaved labor make it most relevant to visitors interested in the decorative arts and in the history of the antebellum South.
