Belmont Mansion

Completed in 1853 by Adelicia Hayes Franklin Acklen and Joseph Acklen, the Belmont Mansion is an Italianate-style villa. It was built as a summer home escape from the heat of Adelicia's 8,400 acre Louisiana cotton plantation. The Acklens built, furnished, and landscaped one of the most elaborate antebellum homes in the South, with 36 rooms and 19,000 square feet. The estate contained an art gallery, conservatories, lavish gardens, aviary, lake and zoo.
