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. 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]
