Piece sur piece Building (House), On dirt road off of Highway 494, about 1 1/2 miles Northwest of Bermuda, Bermuda, Natchitoches Parish, LA
Summary
Significance: The Piece-Sur-Piece Building was a one-room plantation outbuilding, which was built with slave labor and probably used for slave housing. The building's "piece-sur-piece" construction type was probably a common sight on the late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century frontier, but extant examples are extremely rare, particularly in Louisiana. "Piece-sur-piece" was a French term used to describe buildings that incorporated log cabin notching technique on finely finished hewn timbers that were flushed on all four sides to fit together without the need for chinking.
