Antebellum Resources of Johnson, Lafayette, Pettis, and Saline Counties, MO



The focus is on vernacular Greek Revival l-Houses which were constructed within the context of a plantation system of agriculture. Most of these houses were erected by migrating Southerners from the 1830s through the 1860s, although the architectural style persisted at least into the 1870s. Some Greek Revival l-Houses in the four counties were erected, and their associated plantations operated, by non- Southerners. The Missouri River serves as the northern boundary of two counties, Lafayette and Saline, which were part of the "Little Dixie" slaveholding belt across central Missouri. Here classic, Southern-type plantations developed (although on a smaller scale than in the Deep South) and the economy was largely hemp-based prior to the Civil War. - NRHP Multiple Submission Documentation
