The Cherie Quarters Cabins were two single-story slave cabins which were the only two surviving of thirty or more original cabins on the River Lake (or Riverlake) plantation. Wood-frame buildings supported by brick piers, they were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. A similar cabin was the childhood home of African-American novelist Ernest J. Gaines.[1]
They were located about 400feet apart on Major Lane, about 0.5miles from its intersection with Louisiana Highway 1, and about 0.4miles south of the main house of the plantation.[2]
Riverlake, the main plantation house, is a raised Creole-style built c.1820, which was listed on the National Register in 1983.[2]
