Please Extinguish All Smoking Materials
The really sad thing about the Windsor Ruins is that no one really knows what the mansion looked like. All drawings and renderings of the structure were lost in the fire in 1890, a fire started by a careless cigar or cigarette left smoldering.
Of all of the places we visited on our trip to Louisiana, I may have liked this one the most. Surreal does not begin to describe the feelings that rushed over me as we turned the final curve on the bumpy gravel road, literally in the middle of nowhere Mississippi, to gaze upon the 23 columns standing in the little clearing.
Twenty three columns.

Darn smokers. They ruin everything. Oh my gosh. I made a pun!
yen west–Thanks, I was in such awe while there I could barely hold the camera still. It really was a surreal place.
Momo–And it made me chuckle.
WOW. It must have been impressive to see and no doubt the actual structure must have been unbelievable.
See? This is why smoking should be outlawed.
Kidding. Kind of
It sure leaves a lot for the imagination.
I enjoy guessing the history of certain places. This one is a fascinating!
That is way cool. What part of MS is it in? Must do day trip!
We should really punish those people who carelessly left their cigarette butts anywhere.
