Mount Hope Plantation House
Mount Hope Plantation House, Greek Revival plantation house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Mount Hope Plantation House stands at 8151 Highland Road, featuring a wrap-around porch and a New Orleans style brick courtyard with an ornamental fountain.
The residence, constructed in 1790 from local cypress trees, served as a resting place for Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War.
The plantation represents one of two remaining antebellum homes in Baton Rouge, displaying architectural elements typical of Louisiana's agricultural heritage.
The five-acre property now functions as an event location for weddings and receptions, surrounded by 200-year-old oak trees and varied native vegetation.
Joseph Sharp, the original owner of Mount Hope, established the first public cotton gin in Louisiana on this property during the early settlement period.
