Live Southern Oak trees at The Big House of Whitney Plantation 2 - 2016

Description:

Description: English: Marvelous Live Southern Oak trees at The Big House, seen in the movie "Django Unchained." Raised French Creole style cottage was built of masonry and cypress in the late 18th century. It is one of the earliest and best preserved Creole plantation houses standing on River Road. Sometime prior to 1815, the Big House was expanded to its present configuration with seven rooms on each level, plus a full-length gallery across the front and an open loggia facing the rear. This is also one of the very few historic American houses known to have received decorative wall paintings on both its exterior and interior. Date: 22 June 2016, 13:48:15. Source: Own work.
