Orange Vale

Orange Vale, also known as the Lawler-Whiting House, is a Greek Revival plantation house completed in 1854 near Talladega, Alabama. The house was the centerpiece of a 3,000-acre cotton plantation, a forced-labor farm worked by black people enslaved by the land's white owners.

The house is principally associated with Levi Lawler, an Alabama state legislator, who principally used it during the summer. The house is a formal two-story frame structure with a hexastyle square-columned portico across the front, supporting a heavy paneled entablature. There is no pediment. The hipped roof is flanked by interior chimneys. Small flat-roofed one-story pavilions flank the house on either side and extend beyond the rear of the house. The rear has two-level porches across the width. The interior has a center-hall plan with the hall extending to the back porch. 108 acres remain of the original property, with seven other buildings.
