Windsor Ruins

Windsor Plantation was built for Smith Coffee Daniell II in 1861. The house was one of the largest private residences in the state before the Civil War. It was constructed near the town of Bruinsburg, where Union soldiers crossed the Mississippi River. A fire destroyed the house. The twenty-nine enormous columns survived.
