garden through a window - a photo on Flickriver

            Go on a tour of the Evergreen Plantation! It is the best by far of the River Road plantations - no crazy docents and no hawking of ticky-tacky souvenirs.

Christophe Haydel constructed the big house in 1790 in the typical Creole style with an open basement and first floor surrounded by a gallerie. It was reconfigured in the Greek Revival style by his grandson, Pierre Becnel, in 1835. The plantation was almost abandoned during the Great Depression and was purchased by Matilda Gray in 1944 when she restored and renovated the plantation. 

The plantation includes thirty-seven contributing buildings, all but eight of them antebellum, making it one of the most complete plantation complexes in the state and the South; of great significance are the twenty-two slave quarters, arranged in a double row along an allée of oak trees. The plantation is on the National Register #91001386 and is also a National Historic Landmark.
