Main building at Nottoway Plantation considered ‘total loss’ following massive fire
WHITE CASTLE, La. (WAFB) - Officials with Iberville Parish say the main building at the Nottoway Plantation in White Castle is considered a total loss following a fire that began on Thursday afternoon, May 15. Though the main building was destroyed, they confirm that all other structures on the property were preserved.
According to officials, the fire started shortly after 2 p.m. in the south wing of the building. Staff members reportedly found smoke after walking into a room of the museum on the second floor. They then discovered flames after they left and came back in, officials say.
The fire is believed to have started in one of the bedrooms on the second floor, but the cause is still under investigation. After initially putting the fire out, firefighters went to every floor to ensure all flames and hotspots were out.
At 3:30 p.m. the fire chief believed they would still have about 2 hours from declaring the building safe. Several departments were on hand with about 30-40 firefighters working the scene at the moment. The fire reignited Thursday evening and flames could be seen shooting from the roof as it collapsed.
