History

The Alice C Plantation House was designed mainly in the Greek Revival architecture style, with French Creole influences, and built using brick, weatherboard made of cypress, and an asphalt tile roof.[4][5] The house is two and half stories tall and was made with "briquette entre poteaux" (a French Creole architecture term for brick infill between the framing).[4]

The home was initially built for Jotham Hulbert Bedell (1807–1859), who ran a sugar plantation and a sugar mill on the property.[4] The sugar mill was removed in the 1950s.[4] The subsequent owner of the home was, Alice and John Calder.[4]

The home was featured in the film, Easy Rider (1969).[5]
