The Greek Revival–style Greenwood Plantation, designed by English architect John Wind, was originally built in 1839 for planter Thomas Jones. In 1899, Clevelander Oliver Hazard Payne bought Greenwood. Like Howard Melville Hanna Sr., Payne was in the oil refining business and sold out to John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, in this case in 1872. Payne, who was Frances Payne Bolton’s uncle, hired Stanford White of the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead & White to design an expansion of the original house. He lived at Greenwood until 1916, when he deeded it to his nephew Payne Whitney. It remained in the family until 2016, when it was sold to Emily Vanderbilt Wade, the widow of Jeptha Homer Wade III, who was Millpond Plantation owner Jeptha Homer Wade II’s grandson. | Date: ca. 1930 | Source: Jay V.
