Pratt Homesite
Circa 1842
Daniel Pratt, Prattville’s founding father,
constructed an imposing home and garden
within a quarter-mile of this site on
Autauga Creek, near his industrial complex.
The large home was designed and erected by
Pratt himself, a noted architect / builder.
The white frame house featured New England
architectural elements characteristic of
Pratt’s style and incorporated a narrow,
two-story portico and balcony. Pratt also added
An art gallery to the home displaying paintings by
George Cooke, a southern artist supported by Pratt.
The grape vineyard on the hillside
behind the house provided wine for entertaining
in the Pratt home.
Erected during the 1999 Daniel Pratt “Alabama Year Of Industry” Celebration In Honor of Daniel Pratt’s 200th Birthday.
