About this property

The house, built in the early 1950s, is a one-story 1,590 sq ft (148 m2) building with similarities to 1950s ranch houses and 1930s bungalows.

The property also includes a 1906-built "mill house" built by the Great Southern Lumber Company when it developed the company town of Bogalusa from the ground up in 1906–1907.
