Rebuilt Old South Mansions Use Modern Climate Control
Two Bayou Teche antebellum mansions The Shadows and Oaklawn Manor in New Iberia and Franklin, Louisiana, have been restored with only modern air conditioning as a concession.

Oaklawn Manor, restored by Mr and Mrs George B Thomson, blends preservation with hidden climate systems to protect furniture and mementoes while keeping interiors comfortable for visitors and residents.
