Riverdale is a historic plantation house near Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. Architectural historians consider it to be the "most elegant and refined house of its period in Dallas County." See also: The two-story wood-frame house was built in the Federal-style in 1829. It is five bays wide, with a two-tiered, pedimented portico spanning the central bay. It was built by Virgil H. Gardner, a native of Jones County, Georgia, for his bride, Margaret Loise Aylett of Virginia. Their daughter, Mary Gardner, was married in the house in 1854 to Henry Quitman, son of former Mississippi governor John A. Quitman. Read more on Wikipedia
