A massive fire has engulfed the Nottoway Plantation, the largest antebellum mansion in the U.S., located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. Once a significant historical and architectural landmark built in 1859, the plantation has been declared a total loss by officials. The fire broke out at the resort site, causing severe damage and resulting in the roof collapse as firefighting crews responded to the scene. No injuries have been reported, but the local community mourns the destruction of this iconic structure, highlighting its complex legacy linked to the history of slavery. Discussions are ongoing about potential rebuilding, although the future of the site remains uncertain.
