Kate Chopin House, Historic residence in Cloutierville, Louisiana.
The Kate Chopin House featured handmade brick walls, hand-hewn cypress boards, and traditional bousillage construction methods from early 1800s Louisiana architecture.
Built between 1806 and 1813 by Alexis Cloutier, the founder of Cloutierville, this residence became home to author Kate Chopin and her family from 1879 to 1883.
The house represented a meeting point of French Creole traditions and American literary heritage, influencing Chopin's works including Bayou Folk and The Awakening.
The National Historic Landmark designation of the property was withdrawn in December 2015 after a fire completely destroyed the structure in October 2008.
Before its destruction, the house contained original artifacts from the 1800s that documented the daily life of plantation families along the Cane River.
