On a cloudy day the South Flanker across the great lawn was sprinkled with sheep.
One of the flock is always playing catch up.

Prior to the Civil War the main house was flanked by the North Flanker and the South Flanker, which was built in 1755 as gentlemen’s guest quarters and a business office.
Middleton Place has a variety of educational displays in the Barnyard.
The barnyard cat naps in them all.
