Windsor ruins (October 4, 2018)

My little phone camera didn't do justice to these 45-foot high columns from the Windsor mansion.  The 23-room mansion was completed in 1861 for a cotton planter who owned 21,000 acres in Mississippi and Louisiana.  The Mississippi River was visible from a cupola on the mansion.  Thanks to a dropped cigar, the mansion burned in 1890, leaving only the columns and some ironwork.  You used to be able to walk among the ruins; too dangerous now.
