Plantation House Plans
The rise in wealth from cotton in pre-Civil War America gave way to grand homes being built on abundant plantations throughout the South and Mid-Atlantic states. Many characteristics of these homes were derived from French Colonial designs of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The most defining element is the expansive porch with balcony above, using stately Greek columns. The posts were originally essential to support the home, however new Plantation homes enjoy them as a prominent design feature connecting the flared roof to the foundation. Arched windows and French doors accessing the outdoor living spaces are also common features of these exquisite homes. The luxurious designs recall the glory days of the South and its opulence, combining the finest amenities yet still offering all the comforts of home. |
