The Barrow family was very wealthy and built lots of large plantation homes over the years. It changed hands over the years and was used as a hospital during the Civil War but most of the out building were destroyed. In 1960 the home was struck by ligthning and burned to the ground except for the brick columns. It was purchased along with 300 acres in 1968 by Walton Barnes and his son Richard. They began a lengthly process of reconstructing it to its former glory.
Greenwood now reflects in the lake again and is open to the public.
The home is now lived in by the Barnes family and is a joy to visit. It is one of my favorite places. This is the front view. This view shows the pretty reflection in the lake. This is the kitchen, I am not sure if it is orginal.
