点评:I spent a good portion of the summer visiting and photographing all of the major historical homes in Louisiana and can honestly say that Butler Greenwood was my favorite. During two separate visits to St Francisville, I stayed in what was the old kitchen of the home. In spite of a hectic schedule, I took a day to just relax there and read a book provided ( and written by ) the owner. Evenings spent on the back porch overlooking a beautifully serene pond were a great way to unwind from visiting other historical homes in the area. Inside the old kitchen cottage are tell tales of changes that have taken place since it was built in the 1700s…as well as the old well that is visible and artfully displayed ….A very unique and ingenious touch of decorating. The home itself is just magnificent. Especially in the early morning with the sunrise…providing great photo opportunities. The owner was quite charming and possesses a wealth of knowledge concerning not only the homes history but the areas history as well. I’m currently planning a return trip during the holidays and look forward to seeing Butler Greenwood as well as St Francisville in general in all it’s holiday decorations. If you’re looking for peace and tranquillity, spend an evening here by that pond….and pray for a thunderstorm….it doesn’t get any better.
翻译:我花了整个夏天的大部分时间参观并拍摄了路易斯安那州所有主要的历史建筑,老实说,巴特勒格林伍德是我的最爱。在两次单独访问圣弗朗西斯维尔期间,我住在家里的旧厨房里。尽管日程安排很忙,我还是花了一天时间在那里放松一下,读了一本店主提供(和写的)的书。在后门廊度过夜晚,俯瞰美丽宁静的池塘,是参观该地区其他历史建筑后放松身心的好方法。旧厨房小屋内讲述着自 1700 年代建造以来发生的变化……以及可见且巧妙展示的旧水井……非常独特和巧妙的装饰风格。房子本身就是宏伟的。尤其是在日出的清晨……提供了绝佳的拍照机会。业主非常迷人,拥有丰富的知识,不仅涉及房屋历史,还涉及该地区的历史。我目前正计划在假期期间回程,并期待在所有节日装饰中看到 Butler Greenwood 和 St Francisville。如果您正在寻找和平与安宁,请在那个池塘边度过一个晚上……并祈祷一场雷雨……再好不过了。
