| 説明 | Destrehan Plantation was built in 1790 by Robin deLongy who had contracted Charles Paquet, an enslaved Mulatto and master builder. This beautiful example of French Colonial architecture sat on 10’ brick piers with a roof covering the entire house and gallery which is typical of the West Indies style and is very suitable for the sultry Louisiana climate. The home boasts superior craftsmanship and adds to the many accomplishments of Charles Paquet, during a very oppressive time for African Americans.Sadly, Robin deLongy died only 2 years after the completion of the mansion and his daughter Celeste and her husband Jean Noel Destrehan purchased the home. Indigo was the cash crop at this time and it wasn’t until 1804 that sugarcane started being grown.During the years that followed, Destrehan changed hands or was passed down to family members several times and in 1839 Pierre Rost bought his wife Louise’s old childhood home and re-styled it to the then popular Greek Revival style that you see today.The Antebellum era had been very profitable for Destrehan but all of this ended with the war. Eventually the house laid vacant for many years and in a sad state of neglect until the River Road Historical Society purchased the home and restored this magnificent jewel of the “Old South”.A visitor today can walk among the shade of the ancient, moss draped live oaks and visit the many outbuildings, getting a sense of what it must have felt like to call this beautiful place home.Destrehan Plantation is located in Destrehan, La on the east bank of the Mississippi River just a few miles north of New Orleans. |
