Evan Hall

Evan Hall is a former sugarcane plantation in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, U.S. It was established for the production of sugar by Evan Jones, a merchant and politician, by 1807.

It was later acquired by Henry McCall, a planter from New Orleans, who built a mansion and slave cabins in 1840; McCall owned another plantation in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.

The remaining two slave cabins have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 20, 1983. Sometime after the listing the northeastern cabin seems to have been demolished or incorporated into a modern building.
