Green River Plantation is a historic plantation house located near Columbus, Polk County, North Carolina. The oldest section was built about 1807, and is a two-story, four bay, Late Federal style frame dwelling. A later two-story, four bay, brick Tudor Revival style dwelling was built behind the original in the mid-19th century. The two sections were joined in the early-20th century by a two-story section. Also on the property are the contributing 20th century log cabin and a simple Gothic Revival frame chapel. It was built by Joseph McDowell Carson, son of Col. John Carson, who built Carson House at Marion, North Carolina.^[2]
