Lombard Plantation, West Indian style Creole manor in Bywater, New Orleans, US
The Lombard Plantation features a raised house design on pillars with plaster walls, deep overhangs, and Norman trussing in the attic section.
Joseph Lombard constructed this plantation in 1826 as a wedding present for his son, purchasing the land for 7,500 dollars along the Mississippi River.
The property represents the architectural transition period of New Orleans when agricultural estates evolved into urban developments during the 19th century.
The plantation stands near the Mississippi River in the Ninth Ward, maintaining its original structure through multiple restoration projects since 1995.
The cast iron cornstalk fence, added between 1864 and 1880 by Charles Caffin, marks a distinctive architectural element of this historic property.
