Evan Hall is a former sugarcane plantation in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, U.S. It was established for the production of sugar by Evan Jones, a merchant and politician, by 1807. [2] [3]
It was later acquired by Henry McCall, a planter from New Orleans, who built a mansion and slave cabins in 1840; McCall owned another plantation in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. [4] [3]
The remaining two slave cabins have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 20, 1983. [5] Sometime after the listing the northeastern cabin seems to have been demolished or incorporated into a modern building. [a]
