Darby Plantation, French Colonial plantation in New Iberia, United States.
The two-story plantation house features a central hall design with galleries on two sides, native brick construction, and heavy cypress structural elements.
Built between 1813 and 1820 for Francois St. Marc Darby and his wife Felicite de St. Amant, the plantation remained in the Darby family for 150 years.
The plantation demonstrates the architecture and agricultural methods of early Louisiana French settlers through its construction techniques and spatial organization.
Located one-tenth mile outside New Iberia city limits on Darby Lane, the property stands among live oaks and sugarcane fields.
The original structure was destroyed by fire in the 1970s and reconstructed in 2002 with modifications including interior stairs and additional dormers.
