💨 Abstract

A significant fire destroyed much of the Nottoway Plantation House, a historic antebellum mansion in Louisiana, on Thursday. The 53,000-square-foot structure, once a sugar plantation, was a popular resort and event venue. Despite its tragic past tied to racial injustice, it had become a site for reflection and education. No injuries were reported, but the loss is substantial for the local tourism economy. Fire departments from surrounding areas responded to the blaze.
