1938. "Splane House at Arlington Plantation. Washington, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Built 1829 by Major Amos Webb; purchased ca. 1870 by the Misses Splane." 8x10 acetate negative by Frances Benjamin Johnston. View full size.
This listing detail has a number of interior pictures and it appears beautifully restored. The living spaces seem quite grand and the grounds seem very well-kept. The upkeep would be daunting no doubt. I would need to change the wallpaper in the bathrooms though.
I wonder how long it took to make all those pickets for that fence.

This house is located at 386 Arlington Road northwest of Washington, LA. It and its 1.73 acres were offered for sale earlier this year at just under $500K. There were apparently no takers.
