Mount Ida Ruins
From Wikipedia Mount Ida was an antebellum mansion, built in the Greek Revival style. Initial construction on the fourteen-room mansion began in 1840, it was completed in sections until the portico was completed in 1858. In 1949, the Kent family purchased the mansion and began a restoration to return Mt. Ida to its former glory. However, Mount Ida was struck by lightning in August 1956 and quickly burned to the ground. All that remains today are the front brick-and-plaster columns.
