Overview

Woven throughout the parish of St. Francisville in South Louisiana are picturesque bayous and rivers that made the surrounding land idyllic for constructing plantations and other grand homes in the early nineteenth century. Presented here in spectacular color photographs are more than 160 images of quaint cottages and elegant plantations of St. Francisville and its environs. While many homes were severely damaged by fire during the Civil War, Southern families rebuilt and refurnished these historic properties, including their magnificent gardens. Award-winning photographer Kerri McCaffety presents images of the structures that have been authentically restored to their former grandeur. Each selection of photographs is accompanied by Lee Malone's brief history of the featured building.
