"The one story brick building now known as the Snyder Memorial Museum and Creative Arts Center was built in 1929 as a private residence for Charles and Esther Snyder. It is located on a roughly two acre landscaped parcel of land amidst modern strip development in the parish seat of Bastrop. The house is difficult to pigeonhole stylistically because it represents the eclecticism which characterized early twentieth architecture. It borrows from the "English cottage" style in its massing, but certain features give it an Italian or Mediterranean flavor." ~ nomination form for National Register
