Florewood Plantation Domestic Slave Quarters


Domestic, or house slaves, generally received better housing, clothing, and food than field slaves. The cook, who had the highest status among the house slaves, and her husband, the carriage driver, lived in this house. It even has its own privy!
What does the inside of this slave quarter look like? What do you expect to find?
