Plantation house
Main house of a plantation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A plantation house is the main house of a plantation, often a substantial farmhouse, which often serves as a symbol for the plantation as a whole. Plantation houses in the Southern United States and in other areas are known as quite grand and expensive architectural works today, though most were more utilitarian, working farmhouses.
The examples and perspective in this deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (June 2022) |
