Godchaux–Reserve Plantation
Godchaux–Reserve Plantation, Historic plantation in Reserve, Louisiana
The Godchaux-Reserve Plantation house displays French Creole and Federal architectural elements with a colombage design and two-story construction.
Jean Baptiste and Marie Therese Laubel constructed the original plantation house in 1764, establishing one of the earliest structures in the region.
The property changed ownership from French settlers to free people of color before becoming a central part of Louisiana's sugar production industry.
The plantation house stands at its current location on Louisiana Highway 44, where the Godchaux-Reserve House Historical Society manages preservation efforts.
President William Howard Taft's visit to the plantation in 1909 marked its status as one of the largest sugar manufacturing centers in the United States.
