| A Southern Experience |
This fine old mansion began life in 1828 as a two-over-two plain-style farmhouse. Over the years, as the prosperity of Washington, Georgia, and the home's owners' waxed and waned, the house grew into its present superb example of Greek Revival architecture. At one point, the house ruled over nearly three thousand acres.
A thorough restoration in 2004 has brought Washington Plantation back to its full glory. Through the years, it has been the scene of festive weddings, reunions and parties. It seems that the whole population of town has fond memories of joyous occasions at Washington Plantation. Hospitality is built in.
The seven acres of grounds, planted with huge magnolias, immense oaks, dogwood, pecan, hickory, elm and crape myrtle, have served as the backdrop of history. The beauty and tranquility of the land, and the house's setting at the top of a gentle knoll where the breeze always blows, stand as testimony to the eye of Daniel Chandler, the first builder at Washington Plantation.
What you will find here will transport you back to the days when cotton was king and the cotton planter an aristocrat. The house is furnished with period antiques and fine reproductions. The breakfast china is Wedgwood or Lennox. The table silver is sterling. The window treatments are hand-made and luxurious. Crystal and brass chandeliers appear in every room. Irish crystal glassware, 1000-count Egyptian cotton sheets, gas fireplaces and the finest amenities grace the bedrooms. |
