Description:
Louisiana Plantation Homes Postcard Book
By Paul Malone
The antebellum South is celebrated in this beautiful book featuring the grandeur of days gone by when plantation homes were decorated exquisitely, furnished lavishly, and surrounded by vast acreages of lush croplands. The styles of the homes are far-ranging and include excellent examples of Victorian Gothic, Colonial, Italianate, Acadian, and Southern Classical architecture, with some homes combining two or more styles. Constructed from cypress and other materials from the surrounding land, the homes, built over 200 years ago, feature such details as soaring Greek columns, hipped roofs, dormer windows, balconies, galleries, ceiling frescoes, and formal ballrooms. Finishing touches, brought in by riverboats, include wall coverings, chandeliers, and marble statuary. From Catalpa in St. Francisville to Madewood in Napoleonville and Oak Alley in Vacherie, the Louisiana Plantation Homes Postcard Book will bring the Old South into any home. |
