Homeplace Plantation House, also known as Keller Homestead, is a National Historic Landmark in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.

Erected 1787-1791, this is an excellent example of a large French Colonial, two-story, raised cottage. The first-story walls are brick, while the second-story walls "bousillage," made of cypress timbers infilled with a clay and Spanish moss mixture. Above, a steeply pitched hip roof with dormers extends on all four sides to cover two-story galleries. The house is not open to the public.

The unoccupied house continues to deteriorate. One elderly owner (88 years old) reports he is not able to do critical maintenance and repairs.

Hurricane Katrina broke windows, damaged roof on house and pigeonaire. Some heirs want to demolish the buildings and sell the land.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.^[2]^[3]

It is located on Louisiana Highway 15, .5 mile south from Hahnville, Louisiana, Post Office.
