San Francisco Plantation House Cistern, February 2021

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: One of two rounded, turret-style cisterns flanking San Francisco Plantation house, built in the 1850s on land now (as of 2021) on Marathon OIl Refinery grounds along the Mississippi River in John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana (the state calls its counties "parishes"). The ornate manor house was so distinctive that it inspired novelist Frances Parkinson Keys to write“Steamboat Gothic,” about the family she imagined living there. Its rich interior includes paintings attributed to New Orleans artist Dominique Canova on ceiling and door panels. [NOTE: In 2021, the refinery announced that the planation would close at year's end.]
