What is "quietdale"

Quietdale (also known as the Mrs. William Robinson House) is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. The house was built in 1854 for Caroline Moore Robinson, the widow of Madison County Sheriff William Robinson. It represents a shift in architecture from Neoclassical to more eclectic forms that would become prominent in the late 19th century. The main block of the house is rectangular, with an ell off the rear and a two-story porch following the ell. The hipped roof is truncated to form a rooftop deck. A two-story, three-room, servants' quarters is connected to the house via the porch. Centered on the façade is a single-story hipped roof porch supported by six slender, octagonal columns with corbelled arches in the architraves. A similar porch extends along the west side of the house. 5 large six-over-six sash windows stretch across the second floor, while the side of the house has two windows centered between two chimneys, with another window outside of them. There were originally two separate staircases which led to the divided second floor, but they were combined and the second floor joined by second owner Erskine Mastin. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
