Great Oaks, Greek Revival mansion in Greenwood, Florida.
The Great Oaks mansion features heart yellow pine construction throughout its structure, with only the stair rail made of cherry wood material.
Hamilton Bryan constructed Great Oaks in 1860 on a 5200-acre plantation established by his father Elijah Bryan, marking a significant period of antebellum architecture.
The mansion stands as an example of Greek Revival architecture adapted by local craftsmen to suit the needs of plantation society in the American South.
While not open to public access, visitors can observe the mansion from State Highway 71, where an informational marker provides details about the property.
The house maintained its original paint for over a century, going without a new coat until the Claude Reese family conducted restorations between 1961 and 1965.
