Residential Buildings

Nottoway Plantation, also known as Nottoway Resort or Nottoway Plantation House, is a historic plantation complex near White Castle, Louisiana. Its Greek Revival and Italianate-styled mansion, built in 1859 for John Hampden Randolph, was the second-largest antebellum plantation house ever constructed in the southern United States at 53,000 square feet, ranking just behind the nearby Belle Grove Plantation in Iberville Parish. The main house was destroyed by fire in 2025, though several dependencies and other historic structures on the site survive.
