Desire Plantation House, Historic tobacco plantation in Vacherie, United States.
The Desire Plantation House is a residential building from the 19th century located in St. James Parish along Louisiana Highway 644, displaying French Creole architectural design. The structure was constructed using building methods typical of that period with characteristic features of the era.
The house was constructed in 1835 and later recognized on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. This designation acknowledged its importance to agricultural development and its value as a surviving example of plantation architecture.
The building displays French Creole architectural elements that shaped how plantation homes were designed in this region. Its structure reflects the cultural blend that characterized estates throughout Louisiana during that era.
