Oaklawn Manor, Greek Colonial plantation house in Franklin, Louisiana.
The Oaklawn Manor features symmetrical columns across its facade, wide porches, and detailed architectural elements characteristic of 1830s Southern mansions.
Alexander Porter constructed this plantation house in 1837, which operated as a sugar production facility until the economic changes following the Civil War.
The interior rooms display period-specific furniture arrangements and decorative elements that showcase the living standards of plantation owners in the 19th century.
Located on Bayou Teche, the property extends across 75 acres and provides guided tours that explain the architectural and agricultural aspects of the estate.
The mansion earned National Historic Landmark status in 1973, marking its importance in preserving Louisiana's plantation architectural heritage.
