The Thomas Holland House is a historic residence near Hillsboro, Alabama. The house was built around 1836 by Thomas Holland, a South Carolinian who had come to Lawrence County, Alabama, in 1823. Holland began his plantation with 40 acres (16 ha) and built it to over 2100 acres (850 ha) by 1849. The house is a full two-story dogtrot house constructed of logs, one of the only of its type in Alabama. The exterior has since been covered in clapboard, and the breezeway has been finished with vertical boards and a chair rail. Enclosed stairways in each lower room give access to the upper floor; the central room over the dogtrot is only accessible from the eastern room.[3] The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage and the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[2][1]
