No, not me you tossers. I mean the house in this marvellous photo from shorpy.com
Corinthian? Doric? Ironic? Dunno, but I used to know such things. I'll go for Ionic. You will agree that the pillars could just be a bit on the grand side compared to the rest of the house.
... oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you don't pick very much cotton ... I left the old plantation and went over to the fabulous Shorpys - what a great site. thanks HR

Looks like someone had read Gone With The Wind and had 'uppity' ideas *snort*
I've always been partial to the gothic shed aesthetic!

The big house has Ionic pilasters the small ones have the flat version of Corinthian.
Someone had grand illusions when they build this.
Very much Gone with the Wind, hey Jayne.
Haha Funhouse. Do you reckon a bit of gold leaf might have been used inside?
It is a great site Ann. I have been seeing the photos for a couple of years now. I can't believe how good the old photos are.
Peter, they really should have spent some of the pillar money on structural integrity.
Looks like 'Hollywood set' style to me.
It's a possibility Victor.
A little bit fancy!
Altissima, is that quoting Michael Caton in an ad? I can't recall which one.
