Henry D. Clayton House

The Henry D. Clayton House is a historic plantation house in Clayton, Alabama, most notable as the birthplace and childhood home of Henry De Lamar Clayton, Jr. , a legislator and judge. Clayton came to prominence while serving in the United States Congress as the author of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914. This act prohibited particular types of conduct that were deemed to not be in the best interest of a competitive market. He was appointed as a Federal District Judge in 1914, where he became recognized as an advocate for judicial reform. The house was built by his father, Confederate General Henry DeLamar Clayton, Sr. It was declared a National Historic Landmark on December 8, 1976.
The Henry D. Clayton House is located about 1 mile from Clayton on a remnant of the former 1,000-acre Clayton Plantation. It is accessed via the original plantation drive, extending south from SR 30 at Clayton Street. The house is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main roof extends beyond the north facade to shelter a porch with square supports. A shed-roof porch also extends across part of the house's rear, where it joins with the kitchen ell. Outbuildings in the plantation complex include a smokehouse, carriage barn, and a small cottage used by Henry Clayton Jr. as his office.
