Aduston Hall is an antebellum plantation house, , in Gainesville, Alabama, United States. The raised cottage is unusual in its massing, spread over one-story with a fluid H-shaped floor-plan, more like a 20th century ranch-style house than the typically boxy Greek Revival houses of its own era.[2] It is a contributing property to the Gainesville Historic District. The district was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on March 25, 1976 and the National Register of Historic Places on October 3, 1985.[1][3]
