LONGWOOD
The only house of Byzantine influence on the banks of Mississippi. This octagonal house of red bricks and white woodwork is topped by a dome shaped by bulbs, such as Orthodox churches. Originally the house had to have six floors, but construction was interrupted by the war of Secession and the poor doctor Nutt, owner, died of pneumonia and grief without having seen his dream completed. His descendants lived on both floors of the house for a hundred years. Now classified as a historic monument, the house is worth a visit.
