The cited article says 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 buildings recorded in the atlas under the plantation heading are the houses and working buildings of such estates, and the term names the kind of dwelling that stands at the centre of an agricultural estate. Buildings recorded in the atlas as plantations are grouped under this concept.Plantation HouseConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Plantation HouseFilter Results5 entriesBuilding FamilyAllPalaces of North America (5)PlaceAllUnited States (5)StyleAllFederal Architecture (1)Georgian Architecture (1)Greek Revival Architecture (3)Completed YearAll1786 (1)1830 (1)1836 (1)1854 (1)Standing StatusAllDemolished (1)Standing (4)GroupAllPalaces of North America (5)MaterialAllBrick (1)Masonry (1)Timber (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 5Arlington Plantation (Lake Providence, Louisiana)Plantation HouseBlenheim (Maryland)Plantation HouseLowndes GrovePlantation HouseMount Mourne PlantationPlantation HouseNoble HallPlantation HouseConnectionsAssociated WithAntebellum Architecture, Styles and Movements Well-attested Source Antebellum Architecture (Wikipedia)Building Type OfAberdeen (Disputanta, Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Abingdon (plantation), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Acadia Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Alfred Hatch Place at Arcola, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Alpine (plantation), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Alston-DeGraffenried Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Altona (West Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Ampthill (Chesterfield County, Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Ampthill (Cumberland County, Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Annandale Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Arlington Antebellum Home & Gardens, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Arlington Plantation (Lake Providence, Louisiana), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Ash Grove (plantation), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Asphodel Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Augusta Sledge House, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Ayavalla Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Bannerman Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Barton Hall (Alabama), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Bayside, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Beaver Creek Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belle Air Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belle Alliance Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belle Grove Plantation (Iberville Parish, Louisiana), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belle Grove Plantation (Middletown, Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Bellevue (Accokeek, Maryland), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Bellevue Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belmead (Powhatan, Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belmont (Capron, Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belmont Estate, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belvoir (plantation), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Belvoir (Saffold Plantation), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Bennett Bunn Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Berry Hill Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Betty's Hope, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Beverley (West Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Birdsville Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Black Walnut (Clover, Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Blakeley (West Virginia), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Blandfield, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Blenheim (Maryland), Buildings and Structures Well-attested Bocage Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Boidstones Place, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Boligee Hill, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Bolling Island, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Boone Hall, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Borden Oaks, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Borough House Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Box Hall Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Brabson's Ferry Plantation, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Bremo Historic District, Buildings and Structures Well-attested Showing 1 to 50 of 344 in Building Type Of, page 1 of 7.123…7Next →SourcesPlantation HouseWikipedia, lead sectionQuote, Wikipedia, lead sectionA 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.View the SourceAntebellum Architecture (Wikipedia)Associated With: Antebellum Architecture, Lead sectionQuote, Associated With: Antebellum Architecture, Lead sectionThese plantation houses were built in the southern American states during roughly the 30 years before the American Civil War; approximately between the 1830s to 1860s.View the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
