It felt pretty comfortable being Lord of the Manor for the five minutes we sat down on the grand verandah.  We didn't get a picture of it, but it was interesting that the verandah had a strong 5% decline (as in, falling away) from the house.  Understandable; to ensure that rain water went in the right direction.  But I had never seen this before. Turns out that this plantation house is the oldest remaining one in the U.S., so this architecture must have been standard for the day.
