This circa 1835 structure is an example of a central hall plan with Federal or Early Neoclassical detail. The house is a notable example of a residence whose owner aspired to make a visual statement reflective of his attention to taste and sophistication.
Located just north of State Highway 14 near Simmons Road it lay abandoned and in ruin until 2000 when Autauga County Heritage Association moved it to Prattvillage in Prattville and began restoration.
Slaton House is the newest addition to the ever growing list of Autauga County Heritage Association-managed properties. According to local tradition, the 1 story, 2 room wide 1 room deep frame dwelling had its top floor removed in the latter part of the 19th century. If this information is correct the house would be properly classified as a modified I-house. Resplendent with such fine interior detailing as graciously molded door and paneled window surrounds with bulls eye corner blocks.
