Myrtles Plantation, Antebellum plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana, US.
The 125-foot-long veranda with cast-iron railings encircles this Greek Revival mansion featuring 22 rooms and original hand-painted stained glass doors.
General David Bradford established this plantation in 1796, which operated with enslaved workers until the Civil War and gained National Historic Register status in 1978.
The mansion exhibits Greek Revival elements through its clapboard exterior, Carrara marble mantles, and Baccarat crystal chandelier in the grand entry hall.
The plantation functions as a bed and breakfast, offering guided tours of six downstairs rooms and evening mystery tours seven days per week.
The antique mirror in the grand hallway contains recurring handprints that return even after replacement or re-silvering of the glass surface.
