Seward Plantation, Greek Revival mansion in Independence, Texas.
The Seward Plantation stands on a stone base with cedar construction, featuring classical columns and symmetrical design elements across its extended structure.
Built in 1855 by John Hoblett Seward, this residence transformed from a cotton plantation into a cattle ranch following the American Civil War.
The plantation includes preserved structures such as barns, former slave quarters, a smokehouse, a corn crib, and a blacksmith shop from the antebellum period.
Located one mile east of Independence near Brenham in Washington County, Texas, the plantation is accessible through Farm to Market Road 390.
The property maintains visible traces of La Bahia Road, an ancient east-west Indian trail used by Spanish explorers during the 17th century.
