The record — long form
Greenwood is the Barrow house — the 1830 Greek Revival that's the 'finest example', the 28 columns that surround. The 12,000 acres was the sugar — the 275 enslaved who were the census '40, the fortune that was the built. The fire was the '60 — the lightning that struck, the columns and chimneys that survived.
The Percys were the '15 — the rescue that's the working farm, the tourists who came early. The rebuild was the '68-84 — the Barnes who bought columns, the replica that's the 'no plans'. The movies are the fame — the North and South that's the film, the Jeepers Creepers that's the horror. Greenwood is the replica — the columns that are original, the house that's the '84.
The file keeps Greenwood: the 1830 Barrow house, the 1960 fire, the Barnes rebuild, and the movie fame.
