Tezcuco Plantation Info
From the old web page. "Tezcuco Plantation is another of the plantations that serve as a B&B. It is a gracious raised cottage, Greek Revival in style with elaborate wrought iron trimmed galleries, ornate friezes and medallions. It is one of the last built before the Civil War and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our 'room' was not a room at all but a complete building built in 1855. Let me explain: in back of the master house are rows of small out buildings that were used for all sorts of things, and these are used for the guests of today. The one we had at one time had been the quarters of the older bachelor boys of the family before they went off on their own."

From "Sothern Living" before it burned-
"Tezcuco Plantation
A raised cottage surrounded by a white picket fence is but the tip of Tezcuco Plantation. Built in 1855 of cypress and brick, the home is surrounded by formal gardens, brick paths, a chapel, blacksmith shop, commissary museum, and a small village of bed-and-breakfast cottages. Giant oaks form a canopy over the front yard, which leads to River Road."
