The Doane House is the abandoned home of the Doane family of Sunflower, Louisiana. It is located two miles outside of town up an unpaved drive. The house was built by a lumber baron in an unusual style that Vincent D'Agosta describes as a castle crossed with a log cabin. The house has towers at either end, a long facade with many windows, and a widow's walk topped with iron railings. It stands on a small rise with a view of the forest and the Black Brake Swamp beyond.
