Arlington Plantation House - Franklin, LA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Beautiful home, located on the outskirts of Franklin. Well landscaped and home appeared to be in perfect condition. Was for sale at time. I searched for history and located none, except from the State Register page, located here which states:

Arlington is of statewide significance in the area of architecture because it is one of Louisiana's finest Greek Revival plantation houses. This can be seen not only in its outstandingly pretentious articulation but also in the richness of its ornamental features. The grand Greek Revival plantation house is undoubtedly the most widely recognized historic archetype of the southern states.....Arlington is one of Louisiana's most richly ornamented plantation houses. It is one of a small minority of examples which have fluted columns and carved composite order capitals. In addition, its collection of ten plaster ceiling medallions is unsurpassed in the state in terms of variety (five different designs) and the intricacy of the decorative motifs.
