The Orange Grove Plantation House is a historic house on a former plantation in Terrebonne Parish, about eight miles away from Houma, Louisiana. It was built in 1850 for John C. Beatty, a sugar planter who owned slaves.[2][3] The plantation spanned 2,470 acres of land when it was sold at auction shortly after Beatty's death in 1857.[3] Beatty's slaves were sold with the property.[3]
The house was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 26, 1980.[1]
