The Gaston-Perdue House is a historic residence in Greenville, Alabama. The house was built in 1895 by Butler County probate judge Zell Gaston. In 1903, following his term, Gaston moved to Birmingham and sold the house to physician J. L. Perdue.

The house is a classic example of Queen Anne architecture, with a hip roof with several gable extensions, each with sunburst-patterned spindlework. A porch wraps around three sides of the house and has thin columns with Eastlake brackets and a matching balustrade. The interior has a central hall with two rooms on each side. Interior woodwork includes tongue-and-groove paneling, Queen Anne fireplace mantels, and some architraves with bracketed cornices. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. [1]

The Fort Dale-College Street Historic District is a historic district in Greenville, Alabama. The district contains Greenville's oldest existing affluent residences, dating to as early as the 1850s. In the initial federal land sale following the Creek War, the area that became northwest Greenville was claimed by William Dunklin. Dunklin sold the claim to William Burnette, who began to parcel the land for sale and to give to family members. Burnette's daughter and son-in-law built a Corinthian-columned Greek Revival home in 1857. A few other pre-Civil War houses remain, and construction continued after the war, including a school building that was later converted into a house. Most of the early residences were large, and built in Greek Revival, Second Empire, and Colonial Revival styles. Beginning in the 20th century, bungalows and cottages on smaller lots began to emerge. One of the later constructions in the district is a Spanish Colonial Revival house, built in 1928.
