This Historic Structure Assessment Report for the Slave Quarter/Tenant Houses at Magnolia Plantation is part of the Inventory and Condition Assessment Program (ICAP) carried out at the park level to assist the maintenance manager in planning, organizing, and directing maintenance operations. Based on comprehensive field inspection and evaluation, this assessment includes photos, drawings, and information about the structure as provided for ICAP. Supplemental information includes the National Register nomination and documents pertaining to the restoration of the structures. The existing eight brick buildings in the slave quarter at Magnolia Plantation represent one of only three major groupings of plantation slave quarters remaining in Louisiana. They show a degree of construction quality and architectural refinement seldom seen in slave dwellings in Louisiana. The cabins are located in two rows, with each row having four cabins. According to the 1855-1858 Magnolia Plantation map, there were more cabins in this quarter besides the existing cabins. This report followed stabilization work on several of the cabins between 1991-1992.
