Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Foster Home, also known as Cedar Hill or Sylvan Plantation, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

Built as the main residence and headquarters of a large slave-labor cotton farm, the main house is an east-facing two-story weatherboarded house, constructed of heart pine upon a brick pier foundation. Erected around 1825, it is an I-house with a one-story, two-room ell at the south rear.[2]

It is located off US 11 south of Tuscaloosa.[2]

The listing also includes a family cemetery as a contributing site, about Шаблон:Convert west of the house. Enclosed by a cast-iron fence, it contains graves of Robert Savidge Foster, his wife Ann Tompkins Foster, and those of several children and other family members. It has the grave of Wade Foster, a co-founder in 1856 of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity at the University of Alabama.[2]
