Davenport Homestead

In Mount Tabor the oldest home in Washington County is being restored by the Historical Society of Washington county.

Over 200 years old, the 12 X 20-foot wood Davenport home is unusual because it was the home of a common man, unlike Somerset Place Plantation a majestic plantation also located in the county.

Daniel Davenport used pyramid-shaped cypress blocks for a foundation because he could not afford brick.
