Forks of Cypress Columns

Columns are all that remain of the Forks of Cypress mansion outside Florence, Lauderdale County. The large home was a major tourist attraction for many years, until it was lost to a fire cause by lightning in 1966.

Rows of tall brick columns are all that remain of the Forks of Cypress mansion, surrounded by a grassy field.
