Gamble Plantation House
Here's one that I've had around since our road trip to Florida last April. Built in the 1840s, this antebellum mansion, located in Ellenton, Florida, near Bradenton, was the home of Major Robert Gamble, who oversaw an extensive sugar plantation. At its peak, the plantation included 3,500 acres, and Gamble likely held more than 200 slaves to work the property and process the sugarcane, according to Wikipedia. The structure is said to be the only surviving plantation house in South Florida.
