| Windsor Ruins, It has
been aptly called the Parthenon of the Old South. Built on the eve of the
American Civil War by planter Smith Coffee Daniell, II, the stately Greek
Revival mansion survived the war only to be destroyed by an accidental fire in
1890. All that now stands on the site just north of Port Gibson are twenty-three
fluted columns crowned with elegant iron Corinthian capitals. The stark beauty
of the once grand house echoes the faded glory of the Old South.
