This aerial view shows us the Tara mansion from “Gone With The Wind” sitting in ruins on the 40 Acres back lot, circa 1959. By this point, it was more than 20 years old, so I’m rather impressed it was still recognizable—considering it was built for one movie, and such things weren’t meant to last. And isn’t it interesting / odd / disconcerting to see Culver City in the background and not acres of cotton plantation?
