The Only Colonial Revival home listed in Thibodaux. Located on busy Canal Blvd and Fourth St. Home appeared in excellent condition and well landscaped. As with most homes listed in Thibodaux, not much if any information found online, except the Louisiana Register page, located as a secondary website below. It states:
The Peltier House is a one-and-a-half story frame Colonial Revival residence with a central
hall plan. The house is four rooms deep with two polygonal bays. The interior features pocket doors,
deep cove cornices, and four fireplaces with columnar mantels. The present dado in the dining room
is a recent addition. The front gallery features grouped Ionic columns on heavy brick bases and a
central projecting entrance under a segmental pediment. The hip roof has four large squat hip
dormers which are ornamented with pilasters.
In addition to the dado, the central hall has been partitioned at the rear, a staircase has
been added, the attic has been finished, and a small portion of the front gallery has been sensitively
enclosed. Because the house is significant for its frontal appearance, only the gallery enclosure is a
factor in terms of loss of integrity. Fortunately the enclosure is set well behind the columns and is
barely noticeable.
To the rear of the house is a roughly contemporaneous garage with beaded board
throughout the interior. The old garage doors have been glazed in and the windows replaced.
Nonetheless, because of its age and general appearance, it is listed as a contributing element.
There is also a modern garage to the rear, which, of course, is listed as a non-contributing element.
Significance:
Thibodaux's post-Queen Anne Revival historic residential architecture is characterized
almost exclusively by the bungalow style. Bungalows occur in large numbers, but virtually all are
low-key run-of-the-mill examples. There are no elaborate Craftsman or impressive twentieth century
eclectic houses, for example.
