Greenwood's 1723 core, built as the cabin of one of Richard Snowden's overseers, is believed to be the county's oldest standing home. It stands north of Brookeville. Beginning in the mid-1700s, five generations of the Davis family operated a plantation that under its most distinguished occupant, statesman Allen Bowie Davis, embraced 3,000 acres and counted nearly a hundred slaves. Greenwood more recently was owned by the Nash family. The photograph above, made in 1980, shows the Georgian brick central portion, built in 1755, the left wing dating to 1807, and the right wing, 1853.
