Albania Plantation House, Antebellum plantation house in Jeanerette, United States

Albania Plantation House is a two-story plantation house on the Bayou Teche just outside Jeanerette, in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. It was built between 1837 and 1842 for Charles Alexandre Grevemberg, whose sugar plantation on roughly 6,500 acres relied on enslaved labor. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and combines Italianate and Greek Revival features.

Charles Alexandre Grevemberg built the house between 1837 and 1842 as the seat of a sugar plantation worked by enslaved people on about 6,500 acres along Bayou Teche. After his death at Albania in 1851, his widow Euphemie Fuselier ran the estate and produced 475 hogsheads of sugar in 1859–1860. Samuel and Isaac Delgado bought the property in 1885, and Isaac left it to the City of New Orleans.

Emily Cyr Bridges, daughter of Lieutenant Governor Paul N. Cyr, bought the house at auction in 1957 and opened it to show her collection of Southern plantation furniture and Acadian artifacts. She banned the name of Huey Long from being spoken at Albania, and in her later years rarely received guests.

The house sits on Louisiana Route 182 East near Jeanerette and can be viewed from the road, though the grounds are privately held. Best to explore during daylight hours and respect the boundaries of the property while observing from available viewpoints.

The sugarcane fields surrounding the house are owned by the City of New Orleans, with revenue from their operation directed to support a local community college. This unusual arrangement ties the historical property to ongoing educational funding in the region.
