The White House of the Confederacy was a large two story wooden frame house painted white and green in Montgomery, Alabama. It had five bays across its frontal facade and four on either side. The main section of the house had a one-story wing extending from its rear, upon which two end-exterior chimneys were positioned.
It was built on a foundation of brick piers and had a heavy bracketed cornice encircling the hipped roof. The cornice was unique in that it had a ventilation system ornamented with a Liberty cap design. A similar cornice could be found upon the rear one-story wing but with a flower design instead of the Liberty Cap one. The exterior walls are weather-boarded. The house had a portico in the center of its facade supported by fluted columns and a balustrade. In the portico area, the wall was built with wooden planks built to simulate a stone texture.
The central entrance was framed with two pilasters with side lights. A transom built with an architrave was placed above the door. The central stairhall had access to a double parlor, two bedrooms, and a back hallway. The parlors had simple wooden doorways and were connected by sliding doors. The bedrooms were designed in a similar fashion.
The hallway ended in an archway that was built with Greek revival doorways and an elaborate cornice design surrounding the roof of the doorway. The back hall which intersected with the main hallway had access to a side porch. The side porch was connected to the dining room through a hinged window that doubled as a door. The second floor had four bedrooms and what was most likely a nursery. Wiki.

Hopefully, Marxists won’t ever get to erase this part of our history. Though I suspect I would have been anti-slavery if I was raised by my same parents, destroying the history of the Confederacy like they are trying to do to Stone Mountain in Georgia is absurd and debases the genuine character of many who believed slavery was permissible based on misinterpretation of verses in the Bible. We need to keep historic places such as the White House of the Confederate States of America and place them in context of the times in which the places were revered. If we forget the past, we are doomed to repeat it. ❤️&🙏, c.a.

The Lord is coming soon. He will not let us consciously repeat past mistakes. A big lesson is being instilled in the soul of man. After our present-day life, amidst the darkening hours, if we looking back, we will probably turn into a pilar of hell. I understand what you are saying: — history teaches. The USA’s early settlers were refugees who escaped the oppressions of enslavement or servitude.
