Madewood Plantation House, Greek Revival plantation house in Napoleonville, Louisiana, United States
The mansion displays six Ionic columns across its front facade, leading to a broad entablature with a pedimented gable at the center.
Colonel Thomas Pugh commissioned architect Henry Howard to build this 10,000-acre sugar plantation manor house, completed in 1846 near Bayou Lafourche.
The interior features detailed cypress woodwork painted to replicate various materials including marble, oak, and other decorative elements typical of antebellum architecture.
The plantation functions as a bed and breakfast establishment, offering overnight stays in a historical setting two miles east of Napoleonville.
During the American Civil War, Union military forces transformed the plantation grounds into a medical facility for treating wounded soldiers.
