Robichaux House - Thibodaux, LA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Appeared to be in good condition. Another Queen Anne Styled home in historic Thibodaux. Located on East Second St. on a quiet corner lot. Not much information located about the homes in Thibodaux, so the secondary website below, from the State Of Louisiana Register page states:

The Robichaux House is a two story frame Queen Anne Revival residence with Eastlake gallery details. The plan consists of a central hall with two principal rooms on each side. There are three polygonal bays and two chimneys. One original mantel survives downstairs, as does a large panel of "carpenter's lace." The roofline features five gables, two of which are decoratively treated. The main front gable features cruck and tie-beam inspired ornamentation as well as a side balcony under a horseshoe arch. The roof is crowned by a square turret with two oculi, a band of pointed arches, and a modillion cornice. The front portion of the house is encompassed by an Eastlake gallery with columns, brackets, and rows of spindles overhead. Alterations include the replacementof most of the mantels, the removal of pocket doors, the extension of the rear kitchen area, the enclosure of a small portion of the front gallery, and the replacement of the front gallery column bases. The exterior changes have had only a very minor effect upon the principal views of the house. And because the exterior articulation is the source of the house's significance, these changes have not imperiled its National Register eligibility. In addition to the house, there are two contemporaneous cisterns, a contemporaneous servant's cottage, and a contemporaneous carriage house. These, of course, are listed as contributing elements.
