The house was designed by architect Robert S. Chadsey in the Greek Revival architectural style in 1841 for the plantation owner, Augustin Marius Tureaud.[2][3]

The historic house has been moved twice. After the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 it was moved a further back from the levee, inside the same property in St. James Parish. In 1977 a second move, due to a purchase of the land by Missouri-Portland Cement Company, brought the house to its present location in Iberville Parish. The house was moved in one piece on a barge up Mississippi River course, about 30 miles (48 km) north of its original location.[2][3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 2007.[1]
