Beautiful home. Privately owned by Cargill, Inc. and was restored by them. Home is surrounded by an oil refinery on one side and the Cargill grain elevator on the other side. It is truly a gem. Well groomed landscape and the home looked to be in fine condition. I could not find much info at all about the house so this brief history came from the Register application
here .
The one story frame Graugnard House (c. 1900) faces the River Road in St. John the
Baptist Parish on the Mississippi River's east bank. Although it dates to the Victorian era, the raised
cottage cannot be attributed to a specific architectural category because it combines an eclectic mix
of elements from styles popular in Louisiana throughout the nineteenth century. The house stood
vacant for some time and suffered some deterioration and losses as a result.
