White Plains is an antebellum Greek Revival plantation house in Algood, Tennessee, near Cookeville. Built around 1848 by Stephan Decatur Burton, grandson of the plantation's founder William Quarles, it occupies a historically significant site: during the nineteenth century, the property served as a crucial waystation on the Walton Road, the stagecoach route linking Knoxville and Nashville, and in 1854 briefly functioned as the temporary county seat of newly formed Putnam County. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
