The Grove

The Grove was built on 644 acres a mile north of the territorial capital in Tallahassee around 1840. General Call had purchased the land in the 1820's. He built a mansion of local woods and bricks made from nearby clay pits, as well as some imported items such as marble. Call transferred the property to his daughter, Ellen Call Long in 1851. The property remained in the Call family for almost 200 years.^[2]

Census

In 1850 Richard Call had 143 enslaved persons at his plantation^[8] and 75 enslaved persons at a second location (The Grove?).^[9]
