(March 1993) Ruins of Windsor, west of Port Gibson. Site Marker: Windsor was built in 1859 by Smith Coffee Daniell II, a Claiborne County planter with large land holdings in Mississippi and Louisiana. Daniell attended Oakland College at Port Gibson, and studied law at the University of Virginia. He returned to Mississippi in 1859 and began construction of Windsor which was completed in 1861. Windsor was destroyed by fire in 1890. Twenty-three Corinthian columns are all that remain of Mississippi's most lavish expression of ante-bellum Greek Revival architecture
