Ashland Plantation Photo, Geismar LA, 1841 History
Beautifully designed. Printed on archival paper for modern walls.
This vintage photograph captures Ashland Plantation, located in Geismar, Ascension Parish, Louisiana. Originally built in 1841 by Duncan Kenner, the structure is characterized by its grand architectural features, including columns, balconies, and an expansive portico. The historical significance of this building is underscored by its connection to its last known resident, Mrs. George B. Reuss.
Once a prominent plantation home, Ashland Plantation now exists in a state of disrepair, a testament to the passage of time and changing fortunes. The photograph, part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, offers a glimpse into the architectural heritage of the region. Spanish moss drapes over the landscape, enhancing the southern charm of the setting.
Frances Benjamin Johnston, the photographer, captured this image with an eye for detail, preserving the legacy of this once-majestic estate. The photograph is dated and recognized for its historical value, appealing to those interested in the rich architectural narratives of Louisiana.
