Homewood Plantation, Antebellum plantation building in Natchez, United States
The mansion stretched over 72 by 96 feet with five floors, featuring thick brick walls, ionic columns, and imported marble fireplace mantles in different colors.
Built in 1860 as a wedding gift from millionaire planter David Hunt to his daughter Catherine and her husband William S. Balfour, the mansion covered 600 acres.
The mansion served as a filming location for the 1915 film The Birth of a Nation and appeared in Stark Young's 1934 novel So Red the Rose.
The property included a center hall and cross hall that transformed into a ballroom through the opening of solid mahogany pocket doors.
During the 1940 fire that destroyed the mansion, Mrs. Swan reportedly interfered with firefighters' efforts, leading to speculation about the circumstances.
