Ruins of Windsor.
Used as an observation post by the Confederates and after the Battle
of Port Gibson as a Union hospital. Site Marker: Windsor was
built in 1859 by Smith Coffee Daniell II, a Claiborne County planter with
large land holdings in Mississippi and Louisiana. Daniell attended Oakland
College at Port Gibson, and studied law at the University of Virginia. He
returned to Mississippi in 1859 and began construction of Windsor which was
completed in 1861. Windsor was destroyed by fire in 1890. Twenty-three
Corinthian columns are all that remain of Mississippi's most lavish
expression of ante-bellum Greek Revival architecture |
