Dicksonia Plantation

Dicksonia, also known as the Turner-Dickson House, was a historic plantation house just south of Lowndesboro, Alabama, United States. Dating back to 1830, it was destroyed by fire twice. The house was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1934 and the ruins were later featured in the 1993 book ''Silent in the Land''. For the May 1999 issue of Vanity Fair magazine, Annie Leibovitz did a photo shoot of Natalie Portman at the ruins on February 7, 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Natalie Portman photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair, May 1999 )
==Construction and history==
Dicksonia was a originally a two-story house with a small one-story portico in front, built in 1830 by David White. But, in 1856, the house was purchased by Wiley Turner, who hired an architect to remodel the house into a Greek Revival mansion, very similar in appearance to nearby Meadowlawn. The front porch was removed and a monumental two-story portico extending around two sides of the house was added, supported by twelve fluted Doric columns. Elaborate cornice brackets, reflecting an Italianate influence, met at the roof line. The architecture of the house was also noted to show a Mississippi influence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work="Historic American Buildings Survey" )Banisters of intricate design framed the porticoes. The front door had sidelights and an overhead transom. The door upstairs, also with sidelights, opened onto a wrought iron balcony directly over the front door. A side balcony of wooden banisters adorned the upstairs on the west side of the house. A central hall ran the length of the house, with a staircase leading to the second floor.〔 Sometime before 1900, the separate kitchen was added to the house proper. Water was supplied by a windmill at this time.〔”Lowndesboro's Picturesque Legacies”, compiled by the Lowndesboro Heritage Society, (1994)〕
Shem Arthur Tyson and his wife Mary (Toler) Tyson bought the house and land, known as the "Turner Home Track," from the Wiley Turner family. On November 29, 1901, the house and of land was sold to Robert Stiles Dickson, who named the mansion, Dicksonia. 〔
