The Piazza Cotton Gin is located on the Frogmore Plantation at 11656 U.S. Highway 84, about 7 miles (11 km) west of Ferriday, Louisiana in Concordia Parish, Louisiana. The building containing the cotton gin press was built c.1880, while the machinery was added c.1900.[2][3]

It is a two-story building with ginning/pressing equipment. It was moved to its current location from across the Mississippi River in Rodney, Mississippi in 1997.[2][3]

The building is estimated to have been started c.1880 based on square nails used in its construction; some of the equipment bears 1883 and 1884 patent dates.[2][3]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
