Arlington Home & Gardens is an antebellum house, built between 1845-50, that features Greek Revival architecture dating from the 1840s. It is located on convert|6|acre|m2 in the heart of Old Elyton, the first county seat of Jefferson County, Alabama. The house was built by William S. Mudd, one of the founders of Birmingham.

Arlington was the site where Union troops planned the burning of the University of Alabama. The house serves also as a decorative arts museum, featuring a collection of 19th-century furniture, textiles, silver, and paintings. Arlington has gardens and a restored garden room named the Tea Room that is used for private and club events such as weddings, meetings, and food-service events.
