	Longwood Hall (ca. 1861) Let's enter a world where time stands still, touring the Longwood Plantation. It is known around the nation, as the most beautiful, as well as, the largest, of the octagonal houses. It is also called Nutt's Folly. Longwood Plantation is a six-story 30,000 square foot mansion, designed by Samuel Sloan of Philadelphia, in Oriental Revival style with a large Byzantine style dome, for a wealthy planter, Haller Nutt, and his wife, Julia Williams Nutt. It epitomizes the rise and fall of the South. As it was nearing completion, the Civil war broke out and the workmen dropped their tools and went to war. Fortunately, the construction of the exterior and the first floor was done. The house has 32 rooms, but only 9 were completed. In 1864 Haller died. His wife Julia continued to live in the finished first floor. To this day, the first floor contains many original family furnishings. This grandest octagonal house is a National Historic Landmark. __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	No, only the basement was additionally finished, and that is where the family lived....Today it is considered a haunted house... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life
