Edward Douglass White House, Historical museum in Thibodaux, Louisiana, US.

The Edward Douglass White House is a raised Creole cottage of hand-hewn cypress on the bank of Bayou Lafourche, remodeled around 1834 in the Greek Revival style. A central hall divides four rooms on the main floor, and an inverted stairwell at its end leads to two second-floor bedrooms. It is operated as the E. D. White Historic Site by the Louisiana State Museum.

The house was built from hand-hewn cypress as a Creole-style raised cottage on the banks of Bayou Lafourche. E.D. White Sr. purchased the property in 1829 from Guillaume Arcement and around 1834 began remodeling it in the Greek Revival style. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 for its association with Edward Douglass White, who served as Chief Justice of the United States.

The house is now the E. D. White Historic Site, a museum of the Louisiana State Museum. An exhibit inside covers the Chitimacha Indians, Acadian settlers, slavery, sugar cane plantations and the White family, linking the building to the Bayou Lafourche area.

The building sits in Thibodaux near Bayou Lafourche and is accessible by local roads. Visitors should allow time to examine the architectural details and the museum displays covering regional history.

The house was deliberately designed with high ceilings and wide galleries to create natural cooling during hot months. The raised brick foundation underneath the building served the same purpose and shows how early residents adapted to the subtropical climate.
