Description
Where my memories began," wrote Jefferson Davis about his boyhood home, Rosemont Plantation, in Woodville, Mississippi. A place of simple yet stately beauty, the Davis house is the inspiration for our Planter's Cottage. Like the original house, our version is raised high on brick piers.
Long, shuttered windows on the lower level combine with round-top windows in the dormers to further define the regional look of the old Mississippi territory. The house is crowned with a wide center gable featuring a wonderfully detailed Palladian window.
