Crescent Plantation
Crescent Plantation, Greek Revival plantation in Tallulah, Louisiana, US
The Crescent Plantation features a two-story structure with eight Doric columns and wide balconies extending across both floors of the building.
Built in 1832 with major additions in 1855, the plantation served as the residence of Doctor D.M. and Elizabeth DeMoss Dancy through the Civil War period.
After 1902, under Annie Clark Ellis's ownership, the renamed Ellis Place provided housing, employment, and education opportunities for former enslaved individuals.
Located at coordinates 32.368611, -91.164444 on Walnut Bayou in Madison Parish, the property maintains its original architectural elements from the 1800s.
The plantation survived potential destruction during the Civil War because a severely ill family member was present in the house at that time.
