| Originally named Bon Sejour, Oak Alley was built in 1837-39 in Vacherie, Louisiana by George Swainey for Jacques Telesphore Roman. Joseph Pilie, Jacques Telesphore Roman's father-in-law, was an architect and is thought to have provided the design of Oak Alley. Oak Alley's most distinguishing architectural feature is a full peripteral colonnade of 28 colossal Doric columns. Such plantation houses were once scattered along the Mississippi valley, though Oak Alley is probably the finest of those remaining. |
