Lassiter House
a.k.a. Treadwell House
Antauga County 15. 0.5 mi. N of jct. of AL 14 and Co. Rd 15, Autaugaville, ALThe Lassiter Homeplace is being nominated to the National Register under Criterion C: Architecture. This is a good and particularly intact example of an I-house with shed extensions, a distinctive Southern variant of the generic
North American I-house. This type of house— usually rural— is common to the South Atlantic states, especially the Carolinas and Georgia; it came south with the migration from the seaboard states and is of very early date, its original portions usually having been built in the second and third decades of the nineteenth century. There are relatively few examples as far south as Alabama; currently, there are no more than about 50 examples surviving in the State.
Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
