Master photographer Paul Malone captures the charm and grandeur of these palatial homes and other notable structures in the Mississippi River region between Baton Rouge and New Orleans in 156 full-color photographs, including interior views of many of them. Ornate stairways and foyers, elaborate parlors, and spectacular bedrooms complete with period furnishings reflect the prosperous and opulent lifestyle of the antebellum period.
The accompanying text by Lee Malone highlights the history of each home and provides an architectural description. Some of the River Road structures included in this volume are Mount Hope, Oak Alley, Magnolia Mound, Glendale, Bocage, L’Hermitage, and Nottoway, plus many, many more.
