Boxwood Plantation Slave Quarter

The Boxwood Plantation Slave Quarter (also known as The Little Brick) is a historic building near Trinity, in Lawrence County, Alabama.

The plantation was founded in late 1810s by Samuel Elliot, an Ulsterman who had originally settled in Middle Tennessee.

Elliott and his son, Samuel Jr., built Boxwood into one of the largest plantations in the county, with $36,000 (equivalent to $996,000 in 2023) in real property and 92 slaves by 1860.

The surrounding area continued to operate as a farm until 2010, when the land was purchased to construct an industrial park.

Unlike most contemporary plantations, Boxwood and its major dependencies were constructed of brick.
