Who hasn't fallen under the spell of the Southern Antebellum home? This elegant style is actually named for a time period, not a design. The word Antebellum comes from the Latin "before war" and this architecture is named for the thirty to forty years before the American civil war from 1820 to 1860. The actual architecture falls into Greek Revival, Classical Revival, or Federal with grand, symmetrical, and boxy homes with center entrances in the front and rear, balconies, and columns or pillars.The style is an eclectic mix of French, Spanish, African, Native American, West Indian, Creole, tropical, romantic, rustic, classical..... the list goes on. Antebellum architecture was most heavily influenced by the Neoclassical style that had been gaining popularity in contemporary Europe. Neoclassicism aimed to replicate the style of the ancient Greeks and Romans and, as such, featured classical-style columns that surrounded the main structure. It's important to remember that the Antebellum style was developed to create the impression that the Old South was as cultured and dignified as the Old World, and co-opting European building trends was an integral part of this attempt.

Upon retirement, Joe Herring—a successful healthcare industry entrepreneur and former CEO—dreamed of designing and building a river home. So in 2015, he purchased three secluded acres on the May River, a peaceful tidal tributary that flows amidst the preserve of Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina’s Lowcountry. He wanted his home to be inspired by the French Colonial architecture of Parlange Plantation House, a 1754 National Historic Landmark in New Roads, Louisiana’s Pointe Coupee Parish. Pointe Coupee would soon become the name of Herring’s new home—a place intended as a nearby retreat from his lovingly restored 1857 city dwelling situated on Forsyth Park in Savannah’s Historic District.
