Built by Duncan Kenner this house is symetrical on all sides. It is my favorite of all the plantation houses. Unfortunately, during the latter part of the 1900's it fell into disrepair and vandals did a lot of damage on the interior. It was sold by the owners in the early 2000's to an oil/chemical industry and is now surrounded by a high fence and closed.
Duncan Kenner owned race horses and had a track surrounding the house. Visitors would stand on the galleries to watch the races. Besides horses Kenner raised sugarcane at Ashland and amassed a fortune. The town of Kenner, Louisiana is named for him.
