description

Summary

Significance: This is a two-story brick stuccoed house with attic; a covered porch at the second floor level across both front and rear. The rear porch may be a later addition. On the ground floor across the front, there are four circular brick stuccoed columns, with five square wood columns at the second floor level; originally there may have been round turned wood columns here. This house is of architectural interest because it is a typical example of the early Louisiana plantation house. It was chosen for measurement in 1934 because, while it might have been said to have been in fair condition at that time, its future preservation seemed uncertain.
