Summary

| Description |
English: The grand colonial-style de La Ronde House was built in 1805. It was considered one of the finest plantation houses. The house had a magnificent avenue of live oaks stretching to the river.
On the date of the Battle of New Orleans, January 8, 1815, the house was commandeered as the temporary headquarters and field hospital of the British Expeditionary Force. The house was severely damaged during the battle, and Colonel de La Ronde petitioned the U.S. Senate seeking compensation for $40,000 of damages and losses suffered in 1815. Following the Civil War, the plantation fell into neglect and decay and the house burned around 1885. Most of the walls still standing were blown down by the 1915 hurricane. Today, only slate floor tiles and severely deteriorated brick pillars remain of the original house. It is the only house on the Battle of New Orleans field of which any physical remains have survived. |
