The Residence Plantation House is a historic house on a former plantation in Houma, Louisiana, U.S.. It was built in 1898 for Roberta Barrow, the daughter of sugar planter Robert Ruffin Barrow.[2] Her father lived in a house on the plantation; Roberta "demolished her father's antebellum home and built the current structure on its site."[2] Her grandfather was the owner of Afton Villa.

The house was designed in the Queen Anne architectural style, with Eastlake features.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 8, 2001.[1]
