You ought to be aware that if that building was build after 1820 (1824 I believe) then it most certainly isn't Palladian but vernacular Greek revival. And a rather shitty example at that. Twospoonfuls 21:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article says this building "is one of North America's excellent examples of Palladian Architecture.", I cannot agree with that, I have explained why here[1]. While I suppose the building is inspired by classical architecture I'm not sure exactly which classical civilization it brings mostly to mind. If indeed this is considered by some published authorities the subject to be an "excellent example" of Palladianism then perhaps there ought to have reference. That it is Palladian in inspiration I can just about believe, that it is an excellent example - no way. Giano 11:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This entire article appears to be full of original research, if not, it needs inline cites from reliable sources. And I'm not talking about a website or book of ghost stories, please. Altairisfar _talk 20:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For all its interest to Saunderses and their relatives, including me, the book "Early Settlers of Alabama" is notoriously confusing, inconsistent and unreliable. Its author, James Edmonds Saunders, includes many references to the records he was aware of, but in most cases the references are so general that searching is necessary to find them. Under no circumstances should the statements in the book be accepted without verification. 93.202.102.37 (talk) 12:25, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
