Hope is located in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, in or near Gardner, Louisiana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 13, 1984. [1]

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 (Eden, China Grove, Geneva, Island Home, Longview), Hope 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.
