Notes
  • 2000 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Second Place
  • Significance: Beau Fort (formerly known as the Narcisse Prudhomme Plantation) dates back to the early 19th century. ... The original one and half story structure is of bousillage entre poteaux construction (a mixture of mud and deer hair placed between posts). The frame is constructed of cypress timbers which are mortised, tenoned and pegged. The original floor plan appears to have been rectilinear, with four rooms across the front and 2 large rooms in the rear. All rooms, except one, opened into each other without the benefit of interior corridors. The exception was known as the "stranger's room," and enabled the owners to offer overnight hospitality to travelers without giving them access to the balance of the house.
