Todd House (Plantersville, Alabama)

The Todd House, also known as the Todd-Biscoe House, is a historic house in Plantersville, Dallas County, Alabama. The 1+1⁄2-story Carpenter Gothic cottage was built from 1867 to 1868 for Dr. Samuel G. Todd, the first dentist in Plantersville. Carpenter Gothic houses are relatively rare in Alabama. Architectural historians consider this example to be a good representation of the house designs advocated by Richard Upjohn and Alexander Jackson Davis.[2]
