Sweet Bottom Plantation Tour

This home was inspired by Westover Plantation, a Greek Revival plantation located in Milledgeville, Georgia and built by Colonel Lee Jordan in 1822. Employing a classic Greek pediment, the texture and proportion are enhanced by a triglyphic entablature detail running under the roof line around the house perimeter, as well as within the gable end pediment and around the covered gallery. The front door is side-lighted with transom and a matching door above opens to the second level balcony. While Westover had twin sets of two-story Doric columns, the Sweet Bottom house has twin sets of one-story Doric columns and a second level, open-air balcony with Doric pilasters.
