Alice Plantation House, also known as the Fuselier Plantation House, [2] is a historic house in Jeanerette, Louisiana, U.S.. It was built in 1816 for the Fuselier family as part of a sugar plantation. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 14, 1984. [1] The house was designed in the Creole architectural style. [3] This plantation was worked by enslaved people. [3]

History

The house was built near Baldwin in St. Martin Parish in 1816, for Agricole Fuselier de la Claire, the son of Gabriel Fuselier de la Claire, a large landowner whose first wife Jeanne was the daughter of Jacques Roman, the owner of the Oak Alley Plantation. [3] Agricole Fuselier lived here with his wife, Christine Berard. [3] He served as a lieutenant in the state militia, and he became a sugar planter. He owned slaves. [3]

The house was moved near Jeanerette in Iberia Parish in 1961. By the 1980s, it still belonged to the Fuselier family. [3]
