Yesterday he passed by this plantation house in White Castle La. and snapped a pic for me on his phone. This one is called Nottoway . It's 53,000 sq.ft., can you imagine that? WOW! It was build in 1857 with a fortune made in sugar cane. It has 50 rooms, the fellow who build it had 11 kids!
It is said to have been the first plantation home to have a bathroom on the second floor. It is open now for tours and has a bed and breakfast.

It's really gorgeous. I just love the plantations in the south. I love the big white columns in the front of the house and they usually have beautiful gardens.
Sorry you didn't get to go(: as I know you would have had a great time.
It really is something! I can't imagine living in a place so big.
Forget how big the house is, I can't imagine having 11 children!
You got one right Amy. But with 50 rooms, they could spread out pretty good.
