Carville Historic District
Carville Historic District, Medical historic district in Iberville Parish, US.
The Carville Historic District spans 60 acres of land along the Mississippi River, featuring Classical Revival and Italianate architectural styles throughout its buildings.
The district originated as a sugar plantation in 1859 before transforming into the Louisiana Leper Home in 1894, later becoming the National Leprosarium for Hansen's disease treatment.
The district includes Indian Camp Plantation House, designed by New Orleans architect Henry Howard, alongside 26 contributing structures built between 1859 and 1941.
The National Hansen's Disease Museum, opened in 1996, displays exhibits about the facility's medical history and maintains patient archives for research purposes.
Stanley Stein initiated The STAR newsletter in 1931 from within the facility, which continues publication today as a recognized source of Hansen's disease information.
