The Moss Grove Plantation House is a historic plantation house on the west bank of the Black River in unincorporated Catahoula Parish, Louisiana near Jonesville, Louisiana. It was built around 1870 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
History
Samuel and Caroline Cotton Wilmoth established the cotton plantation in 1836. During the Civil War, the original house was attacked by American gunboats and the current house was built after the war. In the 1970s, a levee was built behind the house instead of in front at the owners' request to avoid needing to relocate the structure away from the river.
Architecture
The house is designed with the Greek revival architecture style more common with earlier Antebellum houses. The front has columns on the facade while the inside has a central hall plan. If both the paneled folding doors are opened, it has a dogtrot layout.
