The Moulthrop-Longview Plantation was built in 1899 at the far end of Riverside Drive on the former Shorter family property. The Queen Anne-style house known as “Longview” was designed by John Adams from “the East” and constructed by Alabama State Senator Robert H. Moulthrop. The home was built out of bricks made by the R. Moulthrop & Son Brick Company.

Also on the property was the caretaker’s house, a gristmill, a storage house with two rooms, and a shed built to work on Ford Model T’s.

In June 2020, the home and 25 acres surrounding it were purchased by an LLC with ties to the Moulthrop family. The group plans to restore the home to its former glory with several plans for its use, including a venue for weddings or other events.
