The average plantation house sat on a piece of land that consisted of one main house and maybe, if they had enough money, another small shed-like building or two to hold the farming supplies, act as a small house for the slaves, or be used for a kitchen. The average house didn't even have a kitchen inside of it! The average houses only had one to two rooms. Imagine having five other siblings and having to share one bedroom with them? And thier houses were only about the size of a garage! The houses were also only one floor, but may have had a small loft that the family could store things in. There was also a fireplace and chimney is these houses to warm it during the winter. Wooden floors were considered a luxery, most houses only had floors made of dirt!
