Myrtle Grove Plantation, also known as the Old Bass Place, is a plantation in Waterproof, Louisiana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]

The antebellum plantation house is located in open, flat farmland about 200 feet behind the rear of the Mississippi River levee; no historic outbuildings survive. It is one and a half stories tall with a "relatively monumental" one-story front gallery having six columns, and it has a rear gallery as well. Greek Revival influence is seen in the gallery columns with their molded capitals, and in the full entablature of the gallery plus a strong entablature of the front doorway with four pilasters.[2]
