Drayton Hall |
|
|
Instead of being restored to the vision of those who lived centuries after it was built, Drayton Hall is an artifact that has survived the American Revolution, the Civil War, the earthquake of 1886 and hurricanes like Hugo. The main house is considered one of the finest examples of Georgian-Palladian architecture in the United States.
