Oakland Plantation House is in Gurley, Louisiana. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
The house was built by Judge Thomas W. Scott in 1827. It has a wide front gallery, and the entrance is highlighted by two large double doors. Inside there are plank ceilings, Federal period woodwork, beaded board walls, and molded Adam style mantels.[2]
Judge Scott's son-in-law, Iveson Greene Gayden, named the house after his Mississippi alma mater, Oakland College.[3]
The house fell into disrepair until it was bought in 1976 by an attorney, William Hutchinson McClendon III, and his wife, Eugenia Slaughter, who have fully restored Oakland Plantation.[3]
