The St. George Plantation House, in Schriever, Louisiana was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
It is a raised, one-story, frame and weatherboard plantation house reflecting late Greek Revival style. It has "handsomely landscaped grounds" in its semi-rural location in the center of Schriever, in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. Its "most prominent architectural feature is its front facade. This composition is dominated by a heroically scaled colonnade of six sixteen-inch square columns rising 13-1/2 feet to support a massive entablature. The fenestration beyond this colonnade is composed of a center pair of large glazed doors with a transom, side lights and a heavy overdoor. The doors are balanced on each side by a pair of double hung windows which open to the floor level giving access from the gallery to the front rooms."
The interior features a grand center hall which is 14 by 56 feet (4.3 m × 17.1 m) in dimension, and has a large fireplace near its center.
