Uncle Sam Plantation, originally known as Constancia, was a historic sugar plantation and Greek Revival mansion on the Mississippi River near Convent in St. James Parish, Louisiana, built between 1829 and 1843 by Samuel Pierre Auguste Fagot. The mansion was ringed by 28 monumental Tuscan columns and flanked by matching garconnieres and two 40-foot hexagonal pigeonnier towers, making it one of the most architecturally unified plantation complexes in the southeastern United States. All of its structures were demolished in 1940 to build a new Mississippi River levee, and a chemical plant now occupies the site, with only a 1969 historic marker remaining.
