Drayton Hall Plantation House - side view
Looking out to the wonderful park.
A view trough the window.
A pretty stucco ceiling.
The ball room for gorgeous banquets and elegant balls.
The wooden floors are original and still in a beautiful condition.
The hallway to the two stairways to the 2nd floor.
The stairways were partially replaced and are not original anymore.
A big terrace gives you the fantastic view over the huge park andall the old oak trees.
And to the left side you can enjoy the view to the little pond where a lot of big white Heron birds are fishing.
This house has and had NO air conditioners (of course), only to open all the windows helps on a hot summer day, to get some fresh air rotating in the house.
