Flames ripped through a former plantation house in Louisiana, which was built in 1859, destroying much of the historic structure.
The fire started on Thursday afternoon, when two employees saw smoke coming out of a room in the second floor.
Between 30 to 40 firefighters attended at the scene, but weren’t able to control the flames, according to CBS News.
By the end of the day, the historic mansion was declared a total loss.
The cause of the fire are still under investigation and there have been no reports of injuries.
