Château de Malmaison
Leflore wanted a manor house that befitted his status as a wealthy planter. He commissioned James Harris, a Georgian, to design it. Leflore was an admirer of Napoleon Bonaparte and Josephine, and had the house designed in French style. When he sought a name for the house, "he decided on the name of the Château de Malmaison, ten miles west of Paris on the Seine." LeFlore called his Carroll County home "Malmaison".
