St. Maurice Plantation was a historic mansion on a plantation off the banks of the Red River of the South in Winn Parish, Louisiana, USA.[1]
The house was built for the Prothro family,[2] and it was completed in 1845.[3] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[3] By 1850, members of the Prothro family and their African slaves died of the yellow fever.[2] A decade later, during the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the plantation was taken over by the Union Army.[2]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 3, 1979.[3] It was destroyed by fire on June 5, 1981.[4] It was removed from the National Register in January 2019.
