Slightly less primitive was the Latta Plantation, though the glossy "slave quarters" in the present quasi museum would have seemed like mansions to many a white of earlier times. The mistress, Jane Latta, was the daughter of Robert Knox and Mary Ewart and the niece of James Johnston and Jane Ewart Johnston of Oak Grove, whose "primitive" staircase I posted a picture of.
I may have a section on houses. There's the Coker house in Schoolcraft's book with rods indoors and outdoors holding up bear skins. There's Barksville, where strips of bark from old growth trees gave rude shelter. There are Maryland mansions with great names, one on property that seems to have included what became Silver Springs, MD. What a slide down, fast.

Hilariously chic slave condo below, then me in front of the main house in 2007 and then the main house.

In 2007 I tried for a family discount but was rebuffed.
