Riverlake, Antebellum plantation mansion in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana.
The Riverlake estate features a raised Creole-style plantation house with two preserved pigeonniers from 1820 on the west bank of False River.
The mansion underwent multiple construction phases between 1820 and 1890, incorporating architectural elements that reflect the evolution of Southern building styles.
The property includes two remaining slave cabins from an original collection of thirty, now separately registered as the Cherie Quarters Cabins.
Researchers can access detailed documentation about Riverlake through the National Register Database, which contains maps, photographs, and historical narratives.
Author Ernest Gaines was born at Riverlake plantation, where he spent his childhood years near the slave quarters that later influenced his literary works.
