Belle Grove - an immense plantation home

Front and rear views of a Greek Revival mansion in Iberville Parish, Louisiana.
Built 1857 by John Andrews, who sold it to Stone Ware. Occupied by Ware family until circa 1913.

  1. Reminds me of Belle Isle from Fletch Lives, which was also set in Louisiana. Perhaps the inspiration?

    Wonder if they have an African American guy named after some form of math living in a shack out back as well.
