Description
Nottoway Plantation at 53,000 square foot is the largest of the Antebellum Plantations remaining in Louisiana. It was built in 1857 by John Hampden Randolph, of Virginia, who amassed a great fortune in sugar. The house has 50 rooms, which were certainly needed, as John Randolph had 11 children.
It is said that Nottoway was the first Plantation Home to have a bathroom on the second floor.
Inside, one cannot escape the beauty and elegance of its famous White Ballroom. It was the center of all of the Randolph's entertainment activities, with parties, receptions and balls that would go on late into the night.
This Greek Revival style plantation home is located on River Road, in White Castle, south of Baton Rouge.
