Welcome to the Plantersville Institute Dormitory, built by A.D. Bell circa 1850 for Issac Stone, a wealthy planter. The home was later owned by Thomas Armstrong Cook who was a former teacher at the institute. This pre-Civil War two-story Greek Revival estate stood the test of time and is the last surviving antebellum building in the Plantersville community. Four majestic square columns, under a tetrastyle portico, support a pediment over the central bay of the 50-foot wide three-bay front facade. The portico shelters the main front double door entrance, in addition to a second story balcony with an intricate wrought iron balustrade and matching upper doorway, flanked by sidelights creating a three-part window arrangement. Boasting 3 large bedrooms and a newly updated full bath upstairs, and 2 newly updated full baths downstairs with optional master on main. The home features axe-hewn beams, mortise and tenon joint construction, and original wide heart-pine floors, front and back stairs
