La Tour
LOUISIANA NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES


*

The Alexis LaTour House (1835-7) is a story-and-a-half bousillage Creole house located in the parish seat of Ville Platte. Despite a number of alterations, the house retains enough of its original architectural character to merit listing on the National Register.

The LaTour House began in 1835 as a small cottage one room wide and two rooms deep, with a front gallery. In 1837 two more rooms were added along with an American central hall. The new enlarged house had something of a Greek Revival look with a more or less symmetrical facade and a central doorway with transom and side lights. The house also had numerous traditional Creole features such as an exterior staircase, bousillage construction, beaded clapboarding, exposed beaded ceiling beams, and beaded ceiling boards. In addition, the 1835 part of the house had an unusual looking mantel with cove moldings, panels, and a large central lozenge motif. Other mantels in the house were more conventional with panels and pilasters, but they too had a curious style.

HOUSE OF PIERRE GRASSET LATOUR

Signature of Grasset Latour from 9 November 1846 slave emancipation document. Grasset Latour and several other St. Landry Parish inhabitants certified that the slave: Celeste has at all times led a good conduct, and we further declare that the considerations upon which the above petition [for emancipation] is grounded are well known to us, and that therefore, as far as it lies in our power, we support the same and pray for this emancipation of the slaves therein described. From Fontenot, Keith P., Southwest Louisiana Courthouse Inventory, Volume One, (LC-9678609), 1996, p. 427-428.
