Eden near Gardner, Louisiana is a house built perhaps around 1850. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.^[1]

It is a central hall plan house, two rooms deep, with a rear ell wing. While family history suggests it was built around 1830 by Pleasant H. Hunter, evidence such as its heavy ogee moldings suggest a later date. In 1984, its original four chimneys and four aedicule style mantels survived.^[2]

It is located off Highway 121, near its intersection with Highway 1200, about 4 miles (6.4 km) from Boyce, Louisiana.^[2]

It was listed as one result of a study of 10 Neo-Classical farm-plantation houses along Bayou Rapides. As for several of the others (China Grove, Geneva, Hope, Island Home, Longview, Eden was modified by addition of hood along its original gallery, termed a false gallery, which provides additional protection from the rain, detracting somewhat but not greatly from its original appearance.^[3]
