    It’s a specific style dating back to the era of slavery. A lot of old plantation-type houses in the South have the style, and it’s… grotesquely romanticized in some corners as a more ‘rustic’ time.

      Maybe they meant a more ‘rusty’ time, what with all the chains and manacles and whatnot.

What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
