Few pictures of the Ritchey mansion in Newtonia. Struck by a couple cannonballs during the wall one of which was lodged in the corner where you can see some bricks missing. I still remember my grandparents telling me the ball was there when I was growing up. Don't know who took it out. The black room was used as a makeshift hospital and was painted because there is so much blood stained into the floor that it would not come clean. Need to remember that amputation was used for a lot of battlefield wounds.

We toured one of those mansions in Louisiana and they told us that these were built with the widest sides facing the breeze for cooling in the hot season. Also, the rows of trees planted on both sides of the driveway created some breeze too, sort of like a venturi I suppose.
