It is this characteristic which marks the chief difference between the plantation houses of Louisiana and those of the northeast states of Southern tradition where the plantation houses had their principal floor at the ground level or very nearly so. Later, plantation houses in Louisiana, influenced by the Greek Revival and by the American influx, lost much of their original characteristics. In the vicinity of New Orleans several examples of plantation houses of the period of greatest developme...nt are standing. Usually of stately proportions these buildings have columns, generally plastered brick, extending two full floors. These columns often surrounded the building, Doric or Ionic capitals supporting the overhang of the roof which extended to shelter the second floor "gallery". Often a belvedere crowned the meeting of the roof hips coming from the four corners of the building. In plan a centrally located hall extended from front to back on both floors. A mahogany handrailed staircase connected the two halls if the staircase was on the interior.
