Historic Rosedale Plantation
The neighbors called it "Frew's Folly". Although the actually reasoning
for the nickname has long faded into history, we can only guess it was the
yellow chrome trim - a stark contrast to plank-style houses which were the
order of the day.
Rosedale was built is 1815 by Archibald Frew, who was a merchant,
postmaster and tax collector. However, the house was occupied in the
1830's by a Dr. Caldwell and his family. In addition to medical practice,
he ran the then-911 acre plantation with the help of about 20 slaves.
The house itself is noted for its faux grained woodwork and original
French wallpaper which still occupies the walls of three rooms.
