Buckmeadow Plantation House was a historic plantation house located along LA 2, about 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Lake Providence, Louisiana. It was built in 1840 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 1983.[1]

It was a "large, rambling, brick and frame, Carolina I house which was built in three stages between about 1840 and 1930." It was built in about 1840 with two rooms on each floor and a one-story front gallery around sides and front. When listed the house retained wooden Greek Revival mantels and square brick gallery posts from this era. It was expanded by addition of a second frame I-house and otherwise modified in the late 1800s. It was renovated again in the 1930s.[2][3]

The house was removed from the National Register on December 28, 2015 after the land owner demolished the whole area, over the summer of 2015.[4]
