History
The house was built near Baldwin in St. Martin Parish in 1816, for Agricole Fuselier de la Claire, the son of Gabriel Fuselier de la Claire, a large landowner whose first wife Jeanne was the daughter of Jacques Roman, the owner of the Oak Alley Plantation.[3] Agricole Fuselier lived here with his wife, Christine Berard.[3] He served as a lieutenant in the state militia, and he became a sugar planter. He owned slaves.[3]
The house was moved near Jeanerette in Iberia Parish in 1961. By the 1980s, it still belonged to the Fuselier family.[3]
