1938 Rosedown Plantation, St. Francisville: Timeless Eleganc

This photograph features Rosedown Plantation, located in St. Francisville, West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. Built in 1835 by Daniel Turnbull, the plantation showcases the architecture and gardens typical of the antebellum South. Captured in 1938 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, a notable photographer of southern architecture, this image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, preserved at the Library of Congress.

The photograph highlights the plantations gardens and architectural details, set against the backdrop of Spanish moss, common in the region. The Turnbull family, particularly Daniels descendants, have a long history with the estate, later associated with The Misses Bowman. This image, held in safety film format of 8 x 10 inches, is credited to the Carnegie Survey, which documents the rich architectural heritage of southern structures.
