The Klein-Wallace Home in Harpersville, Shelby County, was constructed around 1841 by Samuel Wallace, who emigrated from Virginia in 1832 and settled on a federal land grant. Wallace established a successful cotton plantation business worked by a number of enslaved people, who built the home and outbuildings on property at the time located in a community known as Klein. The home is now known as the Wallace Center for the Arts and Reconciliation, founded and run by a descendant of Samuel Wallace. The site hosts an annual reunion of descendants from the Wallace family the enslaved people who lived there. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1978.
