Sylum Manor<\/h2>\n

I figured since we just had the 10 year anniversary, it would be fitting to showcase Sylum Manor!<\/p>\n

Actually Sylum Manor is based on two plantations: \u00a0Oak Alley Plantation and Monmouth Plantation. \u00a0The outside of Sylum Manor is based on Oak Alley, as location and the surrounding acres of lands.<\/p>\n

Sections of the grounds of Sylum is also based upon Monmouth Plantation. \u00a0 Design, interior, and their gardens.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through my travels and studies through Natchez, Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana – I’ve explored and studied both areas and plantations. \u00a0Giving a strong bases for Sylum Manor.<\/p>\n

Sylum Manor actually doesn’t look like the two Plantations. \u00a0It’s larger, more extensive and well a home for a lot of Vampires. \u00a0 To best put it in perspective of how big Sylum Manor is. \u00a0 Oak Alley Plantation … itself, the whole building – is Sylum’s front lobby.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So the building you see here, is only a small portion of how big Sylum Manor actually is. \u00a0This is where you would walk into the main lobby, after coming up the oak drive way, pull around the circular drive way, parking in front of the entrance. \u00a0You would walk up three steps onto the veranda, porch that wraps around to the back of the house. \u00a0Go through a set of double doors, and step into the front lobby, that showcases the grand staircase.<\/p>\n

What you see in this photo is that area.<\/p>\n

This doesn’t include, the side wings that lead to the Manor Offices and Speed’s Library on the right hand-side. \u00a0Or the Dining Room, Ballroom, and kitchen on the left-hand side. \u00a0Let alone the 2nd floor that holds: Nico, Tony and Speed’s personal wings – some of them having a 3rd story added into their areas that accommodate: The Art Gallery, the Library, and Personal Suite.<\/p>\n

And now for some extra visuals that have inspired Sylum Manor. \u00a0These come from both Monmouth and Oak Alley.<\/p>\n
