BADIN-ROQUE HOUSE
Typical Creole house built by Jean-Baptiste Metoyer in Natchez in the post-and-earth style
A typical Creole post-and-beam house, a construction method very popular with French settlers between 1769 and 1785, it would be the last of its kind in Louisiana. It was built by Jean-Baptiste Metoyer, then purchased by the Catholic Diocese of Natchitoches for use as a convent and school for the nearby St. Augustine's Church. When it was sold in 1859, it changed owners a few times before being acquired by the Badin-Roque family. Since 1979, it has been a historic site.
