Windsor Ruins


Windsor Ruins

I bet your thinking ‘gosh, when did they go to England’?  We didn’t!  The Windsor Ruins are right here in America, just a short drive out side of Natchez Mississippi.  Windsor was built in 1861, survived the Civil War only to be destroyed by fire in 1890.  The ruins consist of 23 standing Corinthian columns of the largest antebellum Greek Revival mansion ever built in the state.  The family donated the ruins to Mississippi in 1974. 
Below is a pencil drawing of what the mansion looked like before it was lost in the fire.
 














More coming soon!
