Ellerslie Plantation, near Bains, LA circa 1835. Built by Judge William C. Wade when he came to the Felicianas and married Olivia Ruffin Lane, a granddaughter of pioneer, Olivia Ruffin Barrow who lived in Greenwod which is not far from this house. Both houses were designed by the same architect from New York. The difference between the two houses is that this one is a four-over-four and Greenwood is a six-over-six. Following Judge Wade's ownership, the home was acquired by the Percy family, relatives of the Percy daughters who attended Beech Wood school, at which Lucy Bakewell Audubon, wife of John James Audubon, taught for many years. The property is still owned by the Percy family.
Greenwood Plantation, Near St. Francisville, LA. Orignially built by William Ruffin Barrow and his wife, Olivia Ruffin Barrow in 1830, Greenwood burned in 1960. In 1968 the property was purchased by Walton J. Barnes, the father of the present owner, who determined to return Greenwood to its former glory. Between the Barnes' acquisition of photographs from visitors to the property prior to the fire and an old inventory book describing the furnishing in each of the rooms, the house was restored in 1983. In that same year International Cinema Corporation contracted with the family to use the house as the setting for the movie "Louisiana."
