Re-drawn from the pencil art by M. S. Hays in 1959.

   Belle Grove Plantation was one of the grandest in Louisiana. It was designed by Henry Howard for John Andrews at the pinnacle of prosperity during the 1850's sugar boom. It was completed in 1857 and was later owned by the Henry Ware family. Abandoned by 1925, the Historic American Buildings Survey documented her in 1938. After years of neglect and vandalism, it succumbed to fire in 1952. It would have been the largest plantation home in Louisiana, outdoing Nottoway....the friendly competitors.
