The West House was built during the Federalist Period, circa 1810 and is the classic embodiment of a Piedmont Plains plantation home. Secured together meticulously with wooden dowels, the home possess high quality craftsmanship from a foregone era. The home’s architecture represents one of the few surviving structures in the county that reflects the regional building characteristics of the settlers who came to the area and displaced the Quakers in the early years of the 19th century. John Wade Butler was the first known resident of the West Estate whose area land grants date to the late 18th century and comprised over a thousand acres. The Butler and West families, bonded through marriage, were stewards of the estate for over 100 years cultivating large crops of cotton, corn, wheat, oats and peaches . The two families passed the estate down through six generations. Today, the property is the proud home of the 1810 Country Inn and Winery, with the West home being the cornerstone of the company’s operations.
