Built in 1866, the house is a 1+12-story frame residence in French Creole style with some Greek Revival decorative details. The house was originally located along Bayou Lafourche, on LA 308, between Thibodaux and Raceland. The house was threatened with demolition in 1974, was purchased by a descendant of Zephirin Toups and moved to its present location.[2][3]
