Elmwood Manor was a two-story French Creole house with two-tiered galleries on a large plantation where Sea Island cotton was the principal crop. Although construction may have begun prior to the War of 1812, the house was not completed until 1828. It was once owned by Jesse Cowand (1786-1852), who fought in the Battle of New Orleans in Beale's Company, Orleans Riflemen. Elmwood Manor was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005.
