Madewood Plantation House, Greek Revival plantation house in Napoleonville, Louisiana, United States

Madewood Plantation House is a two-story brick house finished in stucco scored to look like stone blocks, its five-bay facade fronted by six Ionic columns rising to a broad entablature and a pediment with a half-round louver at the center. A carved balustrade runs along the second-level gallery, and the main block is flanked by a rectangular ell on the right and an L-shaped one on the left.

Planter Thomas Pugh commissioned architect Henry Howard to build this residence in 1846 near Bayou Lafourche. During the Civil War, Union forces converted the grounds into a medical facility for treating wounded soldiers.

The interior displays carefully crafted cypress woodwork painted to mimic marble, oak, and other decorative materials as was typical in homes built before the Civil War.

The house stands on the north bank of Bayou Lafourche, about two miles east of Napoleonville on Louisiana Highway 308, with the road running between the building and the water. It is reached by car. The grounds are open to guests staying overnight, and the interior is seen on visits rather than by casual drop-in.

The 1846 house was the manor of a 10,000-acre sugar plantation. In 1966 Naomi Damonte Marshall hosted Pat Nixon and her daughters Tricia and Julie here. Beyoncé's Lemonade and J. Cole's "G.O.M.D." video were filmed on the property.
