History
The mansion was built circa 1859 <ref name="Matthew D. Therrell and David W. Stahle, "Tree-Ring Dating of An Arkansas Antebellum Plantation House," Tree-Ring Research 68(2012): 59-67.>Matthew D. Therrell and David W. Stahle, "Tree-Ring Dating of An Arkansas Antebellum Plantation House," Tree-Ring Research 68(2012): 59-67; Thomas A. DeBlack, "A Garden in the Wilderness: The Johnsons and the Making of Lakeport Plantation" (Ph.D. dissertation, University of Arkansas, 1995).</ref> for Lycurgus Johnson. It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] The plantation boomed as cotton prices increased until the end of the Civil War, which freed the slaves on whom the plantation economy depended, and devastated the South.
