With the ante-bellum plantation mansion, the Old South evolved an ideal house for leisurely and elegant living. Rooms were high, with tall windows that could be opened to the breezes; the broad verandas, ennobled by stately Grecian porticoes, were a prototype of indoor-outdoor living. The New South, too, is fast on its way to evolving its own concept of modern comfort.
