Sweetwater Plantation

Sweetwater Plantation once covered 3800 acres on NW Alabama. It gets its name from the creek that the Indians called Sweetwater. The creek which borders the south property line eventually empties into the Tennessee River. Some 930 feet front the six lane Florence Boulevard (Highway 72). Developing this property for commercial purposes could possibly be very advantageous for income tax purposes. Individuals wanting to take the tax credits will need to consult tax attorneys skilled in the use of these credits. The 180 year old brick on the property with its huge rooms, tall ceilings, and thick walls could be easily adapted to a variety of commercial uses. It is near the highway on a slight elevation. The tin roof was installed in 1985. Plumbing, electrical will need to be upgraded. As a former residence to Governor Patton of Alabama, there is a wealth of historical data about the uses of the house which range from a hospital to military headquarters. As one time, it even had a tenant.
