De Spain Mansion in "The Old People" (Location)

Major de Spain's house is situated between Walter Ewell's house and the narrator's father's farm. The first Major de Spain was one of the original landowners of Yoknapatawpha County, and although this home is not described in "The Old People," it is depicted in other Faulkner texts, such as "Barn Burning" and "Shall Not Perish," as a large, grand plantation house.
