Corinthian Colums at Windsor ruins with intricately detailed capitals of iron. See the pictures of my children standing in front of them to get a sence of their enormous size and height.
Windsor was built in 1860 and was the biggest plantation home ever built in Mississippi. Sadly this architectural masterpiece of the "Old South" burned down in 1890. What you see in these pictures is all that is left. In this set, there are some artist renderings of what the home looked like in it's original splendor. These were drawn from the only drawing of windsor by someone from the Union army during their occupation of Windsor during the Civil War.

The Windsor Park Historic District is significant at the local level under Criteria A and C in the areas of architecture and community planning and development for Its importance to the city of Brunswick as its first suburb. In 1888 the newly formed Brunswick Railway and Terminal Securities Company, a business conglomerate of New York and Western capitalists known locally as "The Brunswick Company", purchased a large tract of land overlooking a vast marsh southeast of downtown Brunswick. The land was to be developed Into an exclusive "picturesque" subdivision for wealthy Northerners to spend the cold winter months. The Brunswick Company put their plans for the subdivision on hold following an 1892 recession. Subsequent recessions followed during the early 20th century. During this time, the tract was generally regarded as park space with the land being used as the location for a nine- hole golf course. A severe housing shortage during the mld~1920s prompted the Brunswick Company to revive the Windsor Park project In 1926. Using the original subdivision plan, the tract was formally surveyed and platted beginning in 1926 and laid out in 1929. Initial development was stow through the early 1930s, but the completion of the adjacent Howard E. Coffin Memorial Park In 1938 resulted in the gradual build out of the neighborhood following the end of the Great Depression and the Second World War. The Windsor Park Historic District Is significant In the area of architecture for its good, intact collection of house types and styles found in middle-class neighborhoods in Georgia from the 1920s through the 1960s. In the area of community planning and development. Windsor Park is significant because It represents an early planned picturesque subdivision In Brunswick. It retains the historic layout of streets and lots, which was a departure from the gridiron pattern that had dominated Brunswick's previous development. Arthur Owen Wilson of Huntsville, Alabama, a civil engineer trained in his native Canada, designed a series of curvilinear streets and wooded tots of varying size and shape with native vegetation and landscape features that are still apparent today.

É uma das residências preferidas da realeza britânica, nele passam muitos fins de semana, Páscoa e outras datas. É o maior Castelo do mundo habitado. A Rainha Vitória (1819-1901) e o Príncipe Alberto, fizeram do Castelo de Windsor a sua residência. Com as doenças e pestes que assolavam Londres, a Rainha Vitória deixa o Palácio de Buckingham e decide morar no Castelo de Windsor, lá permaneceu até sua morte. Arte, luxo... muitas das salas do Castelo têm peças de arte fabulosas, incluindo pinturas de Rubens, Holbein, Van Dyke, Rembrandt e Lawrence, bem como tapeçaria, porcelana, esculturas e armaduras. Os 200 hectares do Home Park ficam na parte de trás do Castelo e incluem o sítio de Frogmore, onde a Rainha Victoria e o Príncipe Albert foram sepultados.
O Castelo de Windsor é a mais antiga residência real britânica continuamente habitada. Foi construído originalmente em madeira, em 1080, por Guilherme, o Conquistador que reinou desde 1066 até à sua morte em 1087. O seu Castelo de material original erguia-se no local da atual “Torre Redonda”. Este Castelo formava parte do anel de castelos defensivos em volta de Londres. O local era ideal, alto e a apenas um dia de viagem da base militar na Torre de Londres. As alterações feitas pelos monarcas com o passar dos anos, fazem do Castelo uma vitrine das mudanças de gosto da realeza. Jorge V apreciava tanto o Castelo que, em 1917, elegeu Windsor como sobrenome da família real.
Entre os eventos expressivos que ocorreram nas dependências do Castelo, destacam-se: o casamento de Henrique I e sua segunda esposa, Adeliza (1121). O nascimento do Rei Eduardo III (1312): “Eduardo de Windsor”. O casamento de Eduardo, o Príncipe Negro e Joana de Kent (1361). O sepultamento do Rei Eduardo IV (1483). O casamento do futuro Rei Eduardo VII e Alexandra da Dinamarca (1863). O sepultamento do Rei Jorge VI (1952). O casamento do Príncipe Edward e Sophie Rhys-Jones (1999). O sepultamento da Rainha-mãe Elizabeth, consorte de Jorge VI e mãe de Isabel II (2002). O aniversário de 21 anos do Príncipe William de Gales (2003).

Smith Coffee Daniell II, a successful cotton planter, completed construction of Windsor in 1861. Daniell owned 21,000 acres of plantation land in Louisiana and Mississippi. Ironically, he died in April 1861, only weeks after completing his mansion. His wife and children continued to live at Windsor but were left to suffer the loss of much of the family’s holdings during the Civil War.
Windsor’s basic style was Greek Revival but with added details borrowed from Italiante and Gothic architecture. The house contained 23 rooms, with an above-ground basement, two residential floors, and an attic. The ell-shaped extension on the east side, attached to a single row of columns extending from the main square, contained the kitchen, pantry, and dining room. Rainwater stored in large tanks in the attic supplied two bathrooms. A cupola, from which the Mississippi River could be viewed, was centered on top of the roof.
The mansion survived the Civil War only to be destroyed by accidental fire on February 17, 1890. All was lost except for the columns and the ironwork. One flight of metal stairs from Windsor is now installed at Oakland Chapel on the campus of nearby Alcorn State University. All of the Daniell family’s photographs and drawings of the mansion were lost in the fire. In 1991, historians discovered a drawing of Windsor sketched in 1863 by a Union soldier in Major General Ulysses S. Grant’s army.
Descendants of the Daniell family donated Windsor Ruins to the State of Mississippi in 1974. Today the site is administered by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.

Windsor Castle is a medieval castle and royal residence in Windsor in the English county of Berkshire, notable for its long association with the British royal family and its architecture. The original castle was built after the Norman invasion by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Henry I it has been used by a succession of monarchs and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. The castle's lavish, early 19th-century State Apartments are architecturally significant, described by art historian Hugh Roberts as "a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste". The castle includes the 15th-century St George's Chapel, considered by historian John Robinson to be "one of the supreme achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic" design. More than five hundred people live and work in Windsor, making it the largest inhabited castle in the world.

Of the parks lining Windsor's waterfront, the largest is the 5 km (three-mile) stretch overlooking the Detroit skyline. It extends from the Ambassador Bridge to the Hiram Walker Distillery. The western portion of the park contains the Odette Sculpture Park which features over 30 large-scale contemporary sculptures for public viewing, along with the Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The central portion contains Dieppe Gardens, Civic Terrace and Festival Plaza, and the eastern portion is home to the Bert Weeks Memorial Gardens. Further east along the waterfront is Coventry Gardens, across from Detroit's Belle Isle. The focal point of this park is the Charles Brooks Memorial Peace Fountain which floats in the Detroit River and has a coloured light display at night. The fountain is the largest of its kind in North America and symbolizes the peaceful relationship between Canada and the United States.
