Plantation Houses: Louisiana

The subset of this subcategory's Plantation Houses group whose own recorded location places the plantation house in Louisiana, home to a distinctive sugar-cane plantation economy and a French and Spanish colonial building tradition along the Mississippi River that sets its surviving plantation houses apart from the cotton and tobacco plantations of the other states grouped here. Grouping Louisiana's plantation houses on their own keeps that distinct regional architectural and agricultural tradition, Creole cottages and raised main houses among them, legible rather than folded into an undivided list with every other state's plantation houses.
