Louisiana’s old homes are like no others, shaped by French, Spanish, Caribbean, and American influences that left their mark in brick, wood, and iron. You’ll find Creole cottages with deep galleries and shuttered doors, raised center-hall houses, and shotgun homes lined up neatly along narrow streets. In historic towns and cities, there are Italianates with bracketed cornices, Greek Revivals with tall columns, and homes that still hold their original cypress doors, plaster walls, or cast-iron balconies. Some have been carefully restored, while others have aged in place, still filled with the textures of the past. If you’re drawn to history that lingers in the air and homes full of character and light, you’ll find it in Louisiana.
