Summary
1997 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Second Place
Significance: The Big House, officially known as Melrose Historic House, was begun in 1833 by Marie Theresa Coin-Coin's grandson, Louis Metoyer, as a raised plantation house in the Louisiana French Colonial style. It consisted of two rooms of bousillage construction surrounded by a hipped gallery on four sides; the lower level was not enclosed. Louis lost the plantation in 1847, and a subsequent owner enclosed the lower level circa 1855.
