Breston Plantation House in Caldwell Parish, Louisiana, was built in the 1830s.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

It is located behind the levee on the east bank of Riverton Lake, formerly the bed of Ouachita River, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) above Columbia, Louisiana, near the community of Riverton.[2][3]

The house shows a mixture of French Creole architecture and Greek Revival architecture. Exterior Greek Revival elements are its five-bay front facade, with center emphasis; six molded Doric posts and entablature of the front gallery; six matching pilasters along the front wall of the house.[2][3]
