Rattle and Snap, Greek Revival plantation in Maury County, United States.
Ten monumental Corinthian columns support the portico facade of this limestone and brick mansion situated on a hilltop near Columbia.
Colonel William Polk obtained the 5,648-acre tract through a game with North Carolina's governor, leading his son George to build this residence in 1845.
The mansion features interior elements including Temple of the Winds columns, plaster cornices, and ceiling medallions crafted by skilled slave artisans.
Tours of the mansion and gardens require advance reservations at least three days prior through the contact number 931-379-1700.
The entrance portico columns traveled from Cincinnati to Nashville by boat and continued their journey to the construction site via ox-drawn wagons.
