Plans for the bed and breakfast — to be called The Sugar House at Houmas House Plantation — call for a 92,000 sq ft. six-story, balconied stucco structure patterned after a former 1906 sugar mill that once anchored Louisiana’s largest sugar-cane plantation at Houmas House. The property is along a crook in the river between Darrow and Burnside — roughly across the Mississippi from Donaldsonville.
To the rear of The Sugar House, Kelly will build the 50,000-square-foot reception facility with a French Market look styled after the New Orleans Board of Trade.
Planters Hall, with 20,000 square feet of reception space, will top a 30,000-square-foot parking garage, giving guests an overlook of seven newly developed acres of gardens, fountains and a conservatory, or glass greenhouse.
Renderings will be posted on the development when available.
