Hickory Hill, Circa 1804, Greek Revival Historic Home built from Hickory, Ash, Hard Pine and Butternut, from the surrounding woodlands near Wilson, Louisiana. Hickory Hill was one of the fine old homes to survive the Civil War, although it lay on the path of heavy skirmishes. The red bricks were baked in wooden molds on the premises and the square cut wooden pegs used instead of nails, the woodwork fashioned by hand. Tiger Oak used for doors and walls. The walls are 18 inches thick. On the front, four tall white plastered brick columns rise to a fan-lighted pediment. The columns are of the Doric order, the outer ones square and the two center ones round. Both upper and lower great galleries are enclosed at each end by a brick wall. Each of the eight rooms have a fireplace with hand carved mantels. In the garden, camellias, azaleas, wild olive, crepe myrtles, and tung oil trees, still grow in wild profusion. Two ponds on property. Two state of the art Tran a/c units. At the back of the home there is a 3 room bonus space attached by covered walkway could be used as outdoor kitchen, meeting rooms, weekend getaway, lodge, airbnb, etc. Beams under the home were pit sawn and hand hewn, along with Trusses adding additional support. Vernacular or domestic architecture, Hickory Hill is impressive in scale. It is three stories in height including the attic, built solidly of brick with a broad wooden pediment crowning the entire front facade. The high basement is totally functional w/ both doors and windows for access and ventilation. Hickory Hill qualifies for a Residential Home, B/B Inn, Hunting Lodge, Event Center, Equestrian Property, Airbnb, Farm/Ranch, possibilities are endless!
