Buildings in which people live, work, learn, -and worship reflect their tastes, economics status, and aspirations. And -it is through research of extant architecture of an area that knowledge -of past culture is ascertained. - -The Louisiana Tech University Department of Architecture has received -grants from the State Division of Historic Preservation and the Division -of the Arts to conduct field surveys of various parishes in North -Louisiana. The purpose of the surveys has been to ascertain the types, -location and quality of buildings 50 years or more in age. The -architecture students toured the highways and back roads and -photographed houses, outbuildings, churches, schools and commercial -buildings. They interviewed occupants and area historians in search of -information concerning original builder/owners. Each building was then -documented, and the compilation of documentation was cataloged by the -Louisiana Division of Historic Preservation in Baton Rouge. - -Each student was required to prepare eight pen or pencil sketches of -buildings of individual choice. The original drawings, of which there -are now over 1300, were placed in the William King Stubbs Architectural -Archives, the permanent collection of North Louisiana architectural -drawings at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. - -The Ouachita Parish publication is the initial volume of a series -entitled “The Architecture of the North Louisiana River Parishes.” The -Ouachita River divides the parish into two distinct regions, the western -portion being hilly country with the eastern portion being flat river -delta terrain. - -Thus, a unique opportunity exists to study in one parish various -lifestyles and cultures as reflected in historic architecture. Not only -is there the rural architecture of the western hills which contrast with -the rural architecture of the delta lands, but these elements may be -examined in relation to the urban architecture of Monroe and West -Monroe—The Twin Cities on the Ouachita. - -Following is the history of the settlement of the parish and -descriptions of the areas west of the Ouachita, east of the Ouachita, -and the urban fabric of the Twin Cities. A catalog of extant buildings -according to plan type and characteristic details concludes the booklet. - -So, join us now for a tour of the architecture of Ouachita Parish. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 1. Rear view of Cadeville Masonic Lodge, west - of the Ouachita._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 2. A rural bungalow, east of the Ouachita._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 3. In the old city cemetery, Monroe._] - - - - - THE SETTLEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF OUACHITA PARISH.... - - - [Illustration: _Map of Monroe and West Monroe, 1895_.] - - -18th AND 19TH CENTURY SETTLEMENT - -The area now identified as Ouachita Parish had been occupied by -aborigines since pre-historic times. Early European explorers included -DeSoto (1542), La Salle (1682), and Bienville (1703). But it remained -for Don Juan Filhoil with a commission from the Spanish governor to -establish the first permanent settlement on the banks of the Ouachita. -When Filhoil arrived in 1783, he named the site for the outpost Prairie -des Canots for the Indian and trapper canoes gathered there. The -military post was later named Ft. Miro in honor of the Spanish governor -of Louisiana. - -A colonization scheme formulated by the Spanish government enticed the -Marquis de Maison Rouge to establish a settlement further north near the -conflux of the Ouachita River and Bayou Bartholomew, the site of the -present town of Sterlington. But this settlement lost its position as a -rival for the seat of parish government after Filhoil laid out a plot in -1811 for a town on his plantation adjacent to Ft. Miro. - -An exciting event occurred at the townsite in May, 1819, one which was -to have a two-fold effect on the 400 inhabitants of Ft. Miro. The event -was the docking of the _James Monroe_, the first steamboat to ply the -Ouachita to this northerly point. - -The ensuing excitement effected a village name change to “Monroe.” And -for nearly a century the Ouachita River and steam powered boats combined -to form a great highway of commerce and transportation for the region. - -Overland transportation systems developed throughout the territory -during the 1800’s. The earlier Indian trails often became bridle paths. -In 1839 a road was cut through from Monroe to Vicksburg, but it was -passable only in dry weather. Stage coach service was initiated in 1849. -During this era a road was established westward through the hills beyond -the river; another went northward toward Arkansas. These westerly roads -later became wagon roads bringing caravans of wagons from Jackson and -Claiborne Parishes to river trade centers such as the former town of -Trenton, two miles north of the present town of West Monroe. But it -would be the advent of the Vicksburg to Shreveport railroad in the -1880’s which would provide the communication link between the east and -west portions of the Ouachita Parish. In 1853 the state legislature -granted the first charter for the construction of the Vicksburg, Texas, -and the Pacific Railroad through North Louisiana. The first passenger -service from Vicksburg to Monroe was in 1860. The tracks were destroyed -by Union forces in the Civil War but were reconstructed and replaced in -service by 1870. In 1882 the railroad bridge spanning the Ouachita was -opened. It contained wood planking for vehicular and pedestrian -circulation. Rail passenger service from Monroe to Shreveport commenced -on July 10, 1884. - -Ironically, the installation of the railroad service initiated the -demise of two regional institutions, the town of Trenton on the west -side of the river and the steamboat industry. Trenton, which had been -platted into town lots in 1851, declined with the location of the -railroad two miles south. Cottonport, a tiny community at the bridgehead -on the west side of the Ouachita, changed its name to West Monroe and -eventually developed into an important business and industrial -community. - -Steamboat traffic on the Ouachita, which had begun in 1819, yielded to -the speed and flexibility of railroad service. The glamorous -steamboating era of nearly a century of luxurious but sometimes tragic -travel came to an end in the 1910’s. - - -20TH CENTURY DEVELOPMENT - -Thus, the parish of Ouachita, which had been created in 1807 and which -was subsequently divided into nine parishes, entered the 20th century as -a rural agricultural region containing small urban entities. Surrounding -Monroe were large plantations with cotton production as the major source -of wealth. But with the discovery of gas by Louis Locke in 1916 in -Morehouse Parish, the area became known as the Monroe Gas Field, one of -the largest gas fields in the world at the time. With this wealth came -progress—paved streets, “skyscrapers” and a salt water natatorium in the -city of Monroe. And the parish prospered as well. Industries using -available natural gas and paper mills using yellow pine from the nearby -hilly region located in the area. - -Transportation routes have continued to unite the parish to the region -and to the world. U.S. Highway 80 was constructed in the 1930’s as a -major east-west artery. Delta Air Lines began in Monroe as a small -cotton dusting operation. And Interstate 20, completed in the 1960’s, -now serves as an important coast-to-coast transportation route. - -Ouachita Parish has been called the “mother parish” of northeast -Louisiana. It has contributed much to the welfare of the region, and it -continues to offer the leadership of a pacemaker parish as the -twenty-first century approaches. - - [Illustration: _Map of Ouachita Parish, 1980’s_.] - - - - - WEST OF THE OUACHITA.... - - - [Illustration: Map] - - -CONTRASTS ACROSS THE RIVER - -The rolling piney hill landscape of Ouachita Parish west of the river -contrasts with the delta overflow land east of the river. This contrast -was reflected in settlement patterns with different land allocations and -building techniques. The delta lands had been acquired by pioneers in -the late 18th century and a plantation economy evolved. The less -productive western hilly area was settled in the 19th century as small -farm holdings. The eastern lands were subject to river overflows; houses -were elevated and were generally of wood frame construction. Pioneer -houses west of the river were often constructed of logs on wood or stone -piers in close proximity to the ground. - -Thus, contrasting cultures existed on opposite banks of the river. In -this section the architecture of the western bank will be explored -through an explanation of its extant architecture as evidenced in -housing, out-buildings, churches and commercial buildings. - - -THE LOG HOUSE, 19TH CENTURY - -The early North Louisiana pioneers were more concerned with the erection -of a shelter for protection from the elements and wildlife than they -were with architectural styles. Folk houses were constructed of either -horizontal logs or wood frame. - -The typical log folk house plans of the mid 19th century in the hilly -country were the single pen (room) wide and the dogtrot. The dogtrot -plan consisted of the two single pens (rooms) separated by a floored and -roofed but open walled space. (The designation “pen” is used only in -reference to the rooms built of log construction). - -Folk house plans constructed of wood frame during the 19th century were -the one room, two room, saddlebag, dogtrot, central hall and later the -gable front and wing. These house types will be examined subsequently. - -Pictured on this page are examples of log construction. In figure 4 the -logs were split; the inner room wall surface would be even. In figure 5 -may be seen several elements of folk log house construction in the -drawing of a house being dismantled. This dogtrot with open passage -between pens had an attached porch, square logs with square notches, an -end exterior chimney (base visible), three inch round pole roof rafters -and gallery door openings with the head occurring at the seventh log. In -figure 6 a close-up detail shows the square hewn logs and square notches -on this dogtrot. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 4. Log notch detail (Bldg. 76)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 5. An 1880’s square notch log dogtrot (Bldg. - 6)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 6. Square notch detail (Bldg. 6)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig 7. An 1898 central-hall house with integral - gallery (Bldg. 55)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 8. Late 1890’s gable-front-and-wing house - (Bldg. 15)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 9. Late 1880’s two room house with vertical - board and batten siding (Bldg. 77)._] - - -THE WOOD FRAME HOUSE, 19TH CENTURY - -During the late 19th century and early 20th century wood frame -construction was used to build high style and vernacular houses in the -Greek Revival and Queen Anne styles. Figure 7 depicts a late vernacular -Greek Revival house with a symmetrical plan, and figure 8 shows a Queen -Anne house with asymmetrical plan. - -The central hall plan in figure 7 has a steep roof with an integral -gallery. Windows are six lights over six lights. A wing was attached to -the rear. The original chimney is still visible. - -The gable front and wing plan house in figure 8 was popular in the -period from 1890 to 1920. The key feature was the forward wing which -occupied a portion of the full gallery and the resultant half porch. -Often the front wall of the wing was angled, or cut away, but the full -roof gable remained. Or, an additional polygonal bay was added. Note the -Queen Anne scroll and trim on the porch. This replaced the simple 6″ × -6″ square post of older house forms. This house plan sometimes featured -a central hall. - -Though in a deteriorated state, the two room house in figure 9 has -features worth noting. The siding is vertical board and batten, a -technique of construction which appeared with the erection of lumber and -railroad worker housing in the 1880’s. The front covered area does not -extend the full width of the core; therefore, it is termed a “porch” in -contrast to the “gallery” of the previous two examples. Also, it is -“attached” and not “integral” with the main core roof structure. - - -THE WOOD FRAME HOUSE, 20TH CENTURY - -The 20th century houses shown on this page exhibit a quest for -individuality and contemporary expression. Figure 10 depicts a typical -central hall plan. The roof is hip and not the usual gable. This detail -required a shorter gallery which was not flush with the extreme end -walls. The front door is flanked by full width windows. Shutters were -added to the front gallery windows. - -The bungalow plan appeared in North Louisiana in the mid 1910’s. This -two room wide and two or more room deep house type (figure 11) -proliferated in rural and urban areas. In its simplest form there was a -forward facing gable with a porch. Here is depicted a half porch. Double -windows were used. - -The 1930’s house illustrated in figure 12 is typical of the one room -wide, several room deep shotgun plan found throughout much of Louisiana. -This plan type became the typical house type for workers in New Orleans -after the Civil War. It was seldom found in the hill parishes away from -the waterways. In the shotgun depicted in figure 12 plywood siding has -been installed over the original horizontal siding on the porch. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 10. A 1910’s central hall house with attached - gallery (Bldg. 3)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 11. The typical bungalow, two rooms wide with - gable front (Bldg. 52)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 12. Circa 1930 shotgun, one room wide with - gable front (Bldg. 50)._] - - -THE FARM OUTBUILDING - - [Illustration: _Fig. 13. A transverse crib barn with wood shingles - (Bldg. 73)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 14. Animal shelter with round logs, saddle - notches (Bldg. 47)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 15. Storage building with wood floor and an - addition with dirt floor (Bldg. 40)._] - -The small farms in the hill country were to a large extent -self-supporting. Certain elements, such as food staples and clothing, -were purchased at area or regional stores. But the rural farmer needed -additional facilities to provide for his other needs. Facilities were -built on the farm separate from the dwelling itself. - -Farm outbuildings may be placed in two categories, dwelling-related -outbuildings and farm-related outbuildings. Dwelling-related buildings -were used on a daily basis and included the well house, smoke house, -storage room, chicken house, privy, and sometimes the storm shelter. -Farm related buildings, those necessary for agriculture and caring for -livestock, included barns (single crib, double crib, transverse crib), -storage buildings and often the potato house, blacksmith shop and syrup -mill. “Crib” is a term used as a designation for room in farm -outbuildings. - -The drawings on this page depict the nature of the construction of farm -outbuildings. They are basic structures erected by the farmer and his -neighbors from available materials. Usually they are in the rear of the -dwelling. Style and quality and finish of materials were not of great -importance. These buildings were altered as needed. - -The largest outbuilding was the barn which was used for the protection -of horses and cattle and the storage of wagons and farm equipment. The -transverse crib barn in figure 13 included, in addition to the log crib, -an open wagon shed, a sealed storage area and a loft for hay storage. -Note the wood shingle roof and combination of rough sawn horizontal -siding, logs, and vertical plank siding. - -The small building in figure 14 is similar in design to a smoke house -but was probably used for animal shelter. The round logs have saddle -notches and no chinking between logs. Ventilation was thus provided. The -side addition gave storage area. - -The clean, simple storage building in figure 15 was constructed of flush -sawn siding with a raised floor. The opening was for ventilation and -light. The side addition has a dirt floor. - - -THE RURAL PLACES OF ASSEMBLY AND COMMUNITY - - [Illustration: _Fig. 16. 1920’s rural church with single tower - (Bldg. 20)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 17. The 1885 Cadeville Masonic Lodge. (Bldg. - 54. Rear view in fig. 1)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 18. The Red Rock General Store, circa 1910, - with gallery and flagpole (Bldg. 7)._] - -The physical area required for the small farm caused the dwellings to be -dispersed among the hills. One result was the existence of the lonely -farmstead and the extended neighborhoods. Community feelings developed -and interactions occurred at places of meeting. These meetings were both -formal and casual. The formal occasions would occur at the church, -school, or in rare cases the Masonic Lodge. Informal gatherings occurred -at the rural general store. - -The predominant religions in the hilly country west of the Ouachita were -Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian. Church services would be held on -Sunday. Some denominations would also have weekly prayer services. -Additional community happenings were the annual graveyard clearing with -“dinner on the ground” and a revival. At these events family and friends -would discuss newsworthy events. Figure 16 is an example of the small -rural church which was built in the region. - -The Masonic Lodge was once an important community establishment. The -Cadeville Lodge, figure 17, is one of the few lodge buildings remaining -in North Louisiana. The first floor could be used for public services or -community meetings. But the second floor was reserved for the private -functions of the lodge members. - -The general store not only provided for the physical needs of the rural -inhabitants, but also it contributed to their emotional well-being as -well. The store owner would stock his business by traveling to -distribution centers, often on the Ouachita River, purchasing goods and -selling them to area residents. The regular weekly journey from the farm -to the store would be a time for sharing news and discussing public -events. Thus, supplied both physically and emotionally, the family -member, or members, would return to the rural dwelling. - -The general store shown in figure 18 had a porch for neighborly use, -wide openings and a high ceiling for ventilation, and it even featured a -flag pole in the front yard. - - - - - EAST OF THE OUACHITA... - - - [Illustration: Map] - - -THE RIVER PLANTATION HOUSES, 19TH CENTURY - -The alluvial lands on the east side of the Ouachita fostered a -settlement pattern which contrasted greatly with that of the hilly -country west of the river. Large holdings had been claimed during the -latter part of the 18th century and early 19th century. The Ouachita -River then was the only source of regional transportation. Therefore, it -was necessary from a communication transportation aspect that the land -holdings possess headrights on the river. - -The resulting land holdings tended to have narrow frontage but deep -extent. Annual spring overflows deposited silt near the river edge, and -this high bank was the obvious location for the main buildings of the -holding. Thus, the land also determined the hierarchy of architectural -development on the holding. - -This hierarchy of spaces on the plantation followed a definite pattern. -First, the river landing provided an entry to the owner’s house. Behind -the house would be the workers’ quarters, and beyond these were the -buildings necessary for the operation of the plantation. - -Pictured on this page are details of two plantation houses typical of -those which once lined the east bank of the Ouachita. The 1838 Filhoil -raised cottage of figure 19 has a Greek Revival portico with fan light -in the front gable, Doric columns and a balustrade. The house was -elevated for protection from the river overflow. - -The Whitehall Plantation house, figure 20, was built in 1858. Greek -Revival style details include the squared transom and sidelights at the -front door, low roof pitch, and pedimented window trim detail on the -front gallery, figure 21. The gallery siding was flush but beaded. The -windows extended to the floor allowing easy passage from interior rooms -to the gallery. Operable, slatted shutters allowed sun control, -ventilation, privacy. - -Whitehall is a 1½ story house with dormers, attic rooms, and an integral -gallery. These were typical features for the Greek Revival cottages of -both North and South Louisiana. The central hall plan is another -characteristic of this type, which is generally associated with American -settlement. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 19. The 1830 Jean Baptiste Filhoil Greek - Revival plantation house (Bldg. 134)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 20. Whitehall Greek Revival plantation house, - 1858 (Bldg. 127)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 21. Detail of Whitehall gallery window, - pilaster (Bldg. 127)._] - - -“TURN OF THE CENTURY” ONE ROOM, TWO ROOMS AND SHOTGUN HOUSES - - [Illustration: _Fig. 22. Circa 1910 two room house with integral - gallery (Bldg. 120)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 23. Front view of a circa 1920 one room house - (Bldg. 115)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 24. Side view of 1920 one room house (Bldg. - 115)._] - -The alluvial lands east of the Ouachita contained two categories of -dwellings, those of the plantation owner as previously described and the -houses of the tenants and small land owners. The dwellings depicted on -these and subsequent pages are typical of the latter category. The basic -folk house plan types used were the one room, two room, shotgun and -later the bungalow. Houses were usually constructed of wood frame with -vertical board and batten siding or horizontal milled siding. - -A feature which the basic one room and two room plan dwellings had in -common was the integral front gallery. The gallery roof framing was part -of the roof structure of the core of the dwelling. One might notice in -figure 22 that although two gallery columns are absent, the roof is -still standing. - -The one room type is illustrated in figures 23 and 24. The front view of -the circa 1920 house shows a side addition to the original core room. -The side view, figure 24, shows that this was originally two rooms deep -since the space usually occupied by the rear gallery was enclosed. The -roof had wood shingles on wood lath. The shingles were later replaced -with sheets of tin. - -The two room plan houses in figures 25 and 26 were expanded as the space -requirements of the occupants increased. The first example has a rear -appendage. Vertical board and batten siding was used on the addition, -but an inconsistency in window sash selection occurred. In figure 26 the -appendage was built as a shed addition on the side. This large two room -house is two rooms in depth. This additional depth allows the roof to be -higher, a definite advantage for the reduction of summer heat. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 25. Two room house with board and batten siding - (Bldg. 118)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 26. Circa 1910 two room house on the O.Z.O. - Plantation (Bldg. 129)._] - -The shotgun type house plan, figure 27, was used abundantly on the river -plantations. The typical plan was one room wide and two or more rooms -deep. There were front and rear gables. Variety occurred at the front -gallery as evidenced in the pair of shotguns illustrated. The gallery -might be the full width of the core allowing space for chairs and thus -creating an extra “room” for relief from the summer heat of the interior -rooms. This gallery also provided a place for social interaction between -the occupants and passersby. In contrast with this situation, the porch -on the right was of the width necessary only to protect the door from -the elements and to provide shelter for those entering. As shown, -shotgun houses were often in close proximity to each other. This feature -may have had its background in the fact that the shotgun plan had been -used in urban situations in New Orleans where property was extremely -valuable. However, when the plan was transported to a rural situation, -the close proximity characteristic remained. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 27. A pair of 1920’s shotgun houses (Bldg. - 125)._] - - -THE 20TH CENTURY FARM BUNGALOW HOUSE - -As the 20th century advanced so did the plans and techniques of -constructing the folk house. The bungalow plan was introduced into North -Louisiana circa 1915. This plan type was two rooms wide and two or more -rooms deep with front and rear gables. The bungalow plan would continue -to be a popular house type in the region until the advent of the ranch -type plan after World War II. - -The dwelling pictured in figure 28 was typical of the bungalow of the -1920’s. As previously mentioned in reference to the shotgun house, the -type of bungalow front gallery varied. The contrast may be observed in -figures 28 and 29—the nearly full width gallery with hipped roof and the -half porch with gable roof. An almost universal feature of the bungalow -house was the use of exposed rafter ends. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 28. A 1933 bungalow plan with hipped gallery - (Bldg. 123)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 29. Gable screened porch on a Circa 1920 - bungalow plan house. (Bldg. 95)._] - -It might appear that the occupant of the two room house in figure 30 -desired to update his dwelling to have contemporary characteristics -similar to those of the bungalow. The remaining half porch was similar -to those of many of the bungalow houses. The currently popular double -window was used in lieu of the usual single opening. And the rear -extension created the multiple room depth characteristic of the -bungalow. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 30. A 1930 house with bungalow features (Bldg. - 143)._] - - -OUTBUILDINGS - -As was the case with the small farms west of the river, so the -plantations and farms east of the river required outbuildings. Several -examples of these outbuildings are represented. - -On this page are shown transverse crib barns; the major openings occur -on the end elevations. In figure 31 the typical transverse crib barn -plan is evident with the center aisle being flanked by several cribs as -shelter for stock. Above the opening is a loft for hay storage. This -drawing is also descriptive of the landscape of the delta -plantation—broad level expanses of open land in cultivation. Twentieth -century communication systems are evident with the dirt road and -telephone poles. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 31. Transverse crib barn in a delta landscape - (Bldg. 140)._] - -In figures 32 and 33 variations of the transverse barn are illustrated. -A barn with side shed additions, vertical plank siding and loft storage -would have sheltered a wagon in the center aisle (figure 32). A unique -solution to the high water problem is evident in the barn shown in -figure 33. The structure is raised and provides vehicle and stock -shelter in dry seasons, but any valuable equipment could be removed as -spring overflows inundated the land. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 32. Vertical planks on transverse crib barn - (Bldg. 93)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 33. A barn raised for high water protection - (Bldg. 112)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 34. Circa 1900 log storage building (Bldg. - 128)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 35. Half dovetail notches on 1900 log building - (Bldg. 128)._] - - -A LOG OUTBUILDING - -Log construction of outbuildings directly on the ground was not a common -model of construction in the delta land. The obvious reason was that -frequent overflows would tend to produce rapid decay of the wood members -in contact with the soil. But a rare exception to this practice was -found in the building illustrated in figures 34 and 35. The relatively -tall log storage building has continuous timbers as cantilever supports -for side shed roofs. Whether these sheds ever had vertical post supports -was not obvious on site inspection. - -The corner wall detail, figure 35, indicates that the large hewn timbers -were assembled using half-dovetail notches. The horizontal logs were so -closely cut that a minimum air space between logs remained. Chinking -material was not used to fill these spaces. - - -COMMUNITY BUILDINGS ON THE PLANTATION - - [Illustration: _Fig. 36. Commissary store on Garrett Plantation - (Bldg. 131)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 37. 1920’s church on the plantation (Bldg. - 98)._] - -A commercial establishment which was necessary in the delta was the -commissary. It served the same function as the general store previously -described for the hill lands west of the river. The commissary depicted -in figure 36 has double doors flanked by large display windows. High -windows on the side walls provide light and cross ventilation. This, -too, would be a place for exchange of conversation as well as purchase -of goods. - -The community church would serve the plantation workers and their -families. The buildings were generally composed of one large assembly -room and classrooms as appendages to the main building. A porch -protected the double entry doors. A mark of individuality might have -been created in the treatment of the belfry. The church illustrated in -figure 37 has a single small belfry, but often twin towers were -constructed. In addition to this function as a summons to worship, the -bell was often used as a community signal of momentous events such as a -birth or death on the plantation. - - - - - MONROE AND WEST MONROE, - THE TWIN CITIES ON THE OUACHITA... - - - [Illustration: Map] - - -THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE TWIN CITIES - -Field research of the buildings of Ouachita Parish has revealed that -there are three distinct characteristic types of architecture. In the -western hilly region of the parish is the small farm type, and in the -eastern river delta region the rural plantation type prevailed. Both of -these have been previously described. The third category of architecture -is the urban type, found within the environs of Monroe and West Monroe. - -Whereas the rural architecture, with the exception of the plantation -owner’s house, tended to be utilitarian and unconcerned with stylistic -trends, the urban architecture very often was reflective of the -currently popular national architectural styles. The styles most evident -in extant residences in Monroe and West Monroe include Greek Revival, -Queen Anne, Colonial Revival and California Bungalow. - -Styles found in ecclesiastical, civic and commercial buildings include -Victorian Gothic and the Classic Revivals of the twentieth century. - -Following is a sampling of the various folk and styled architecture -found within the city limits of Monroe and West Monroe. - - -19TH CENTURY HOUSES ON THE RIVER - -The Greek Revival house pictured in figure 38 was built circa 1835 as -the residence of the overseer for Lower Pargoud Plantation. A companion -residence was constructed on the Upper Pargoud Plantation and exists at -the end of Island Drive in Monroe. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 38. The Lower Pargoud Plantation overseer’s - house (Bldg. 143)._] - -Layton Castle, figure 39, was begun before 1820 as the residence of -Judge Henry Bry. John James Audubon was a guest in the home during his -visits to the wilderness of North Louisiana. In 1910 the house was -renovated to resemble a European chateau. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 39. Layton Castle, begun before 1820, - remodelled 1910 (Bldg. 144)._] - -The 1882 Cox house depicted in figure 40 was approached through an oak -alley facing the road, which later became South Grand Street. In the -rear was a flower garden leading to the river. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 40. The 1882 Cox House on South Grand, Monroe - (Bldg. 122)._] - -These examples of 19th century houses were originally constructed in -rural farming areas which have subsequently been incorporated into the -city of Monroe. - - -“TURN OF THE CENTURY” QUEEN ANNE HOUSES - -The popular circa 1890 through 1910 house style, Queen Anne, had -numerous identifying features. A steeply pitched roof of irregular shape -often had a dominant front facing gable. Patterned shingles, cutaway bay -windows and various other elements were used to avoid a smooth-walled -appearance. The facade was asymmetrical, and often it had a partial or -full width porch along a side wall as well as on the front. - -Queen Anne dwellings were also noted for their decorative detailing. -Delicately turned porch columns and decorative spandrels with knob-like -beads were common. Spindle work was used on railings, at porch ceilings, -and under the roof overhangs at cutaway bays. - -The house in figure 41 was constructed with forward gables, a partial -porch on the front and a cutaway bay. Decorative elements include the -ornamented gables and a spindlework frieze between the porch posts at -the ceiling. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 41. Queen Anne detailing on a circa 1890 house. - (Bldg. 145)._] - -Miss Julia Wossman’s house, figure 42, was moved from downtown to St. -John Drive in the 1950’s. Note the forward gables, turned porch columns, -the wrap-around porch, and spindlework at the cutaway front and side bay -windows. The porch also has spindlework, brackets and knob-like beads in -the frieze. Gables contain fish scale patterned shingles. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 42. Miss Julia Wossman’s house, circa 1890 - (Bldg. 146)._] - -The houses described represent only a sampling of the full range of -extant Queen Anne houses in the urban area of the Twin Cities. - - -20TH CENTURY COLONIAL REVIVAL HOUSES - - [Illustration: _Fig. 43. The 1905 E. L. Neville Colonial Revival two - story house (Bldg. 147)._] - -Houses built after 1900 with the characteristics described as follows -have been designated as being Colonial Revival style. A basic -characteristic feature of this style was the accentuated front door with -a porch supported by slender columns. Doors often had overhead fan or -transom lights with sidelights, and windows contained double hung sash -with multi-pane glazing in one or both sashes. As the 20th century -advanced, windows were grouped in pairs of even units of three. - -The Ernest L. Neville house on Hudson Lane, Monroe, figure 43, was -erected as a two story house with a dominant front gable with a -multi-paned Palladian window, complete with keystone. The half-porch is -full height with a railed balcony and Doric columns. - -The circa 1914 James Harvey Trousdale house, figure 44, on Hudson Lane -is Colonial Revival in detailing, but the dominant, nearly square, -configuration resembles that of a 19th century Louisiana raised cottage. -Note the full story height raised basement area with the broad entrance -steps. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 44. The J. H. Trousdale House circa 1914 (Bldg. - 148)._] - -The George Weaks House on Riverside Drive, Monroe, figure 45, was built -during the first decade of the 20th century. The full two-story -semicircular porch with columns and pilasters has a balustrade and broad -dormer at the roofline. The front door is accentuated with square -transom and sidelights. Note the elaborate expanse of entry steps at the -porch floor. Windows are glazed with multiple upper sash panes and a -single lower sash pane. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 45. Classical porch on circa 1900’s Weaks - house._] - -Closer examination of the Weaks House in the porch detail, figure 46, -reveals elaborate Colonial Revival detailing. The columns have Ionic -capitals and fluting. The curved entablature with dentils is enhanced -further with the application of moulded wood brackets under the roof -eaves. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 46. Ionic column capitals on Weaks house (Bldg. - 149)._] - -The Neville, Trousdale, and Weaks Houses were built near the river in -the area expanding to the north of Monroe. They, along with the Governor -Hall house which follows, are examples of the early Colonial Revival -period in Monroe. - -The Governor Luther Hall Colonial Revival home pictured in figures 47 -and 48 was erected on Jackson Street in the older section of Monroe -circa 1906. It contains the characteristics of the style previously -described—accentuated front door with full pedimented portico supported -by slender columns, fan light and sidelights and multi-panes over single -pane sashes. The Hall house also contains elaborate detailing in -addition to these usual characteristics of the Colonial Revival style. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 47. Gov. Luther Hall’s circa 1906 home (Bldg. - 150)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 48. Elaborate porch detail on Hall home (Bldg. - 150)._] - -The detail drawing of the Governor Hall house, figure 48, is -illustrative of elaborate, nearly excessive, detailing. The window not -only possesses pilaster trim with an entablature and pediment, but also -a design featuring interlocking segmental and square panes in the upper -sash. The entry door is slightly recessed which allows space for three -segmented arches with keystones on Doric columns. And, in addition, the -balcony above is supported by four curved fan-like wooden brackets. Note -the large scale column bases. - -The Travis Oliver house at the north end of Riverside Drive in figure 49 -is indicative of the continued popularity of the Colonial Revival style -in the cities. Built circa 1930, this two story house, similar to those -previously described, has a full porch with slender columns, a small -balcony and accentuated front door with an elliptical transom and -sidelights. But certain mutations make this Colonial Revival house -distinct from those previously described. The lower front windows are -wood casement with a semicircular wood fan above. Second story windows -are large eight over eight pane double-hung sash. Most importantly, the -house is of brick veneer construction. Those previously described have -horizontal wood siding. The 1930’s decade witnessed the apparent -popularity and desirability of the use of brick in preference to wood as -an exterior cladding material. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 49. Circa 1930 Oliver house on Riverside, - Monroe (Bldg. 151)._] - -Although Colonial Revival has been a dominant style for house -construction in the Monroe and West Monroe area during the 20th Century, -other styles are represented and will be described following. - - -VARIOUS 20TH CENTURY HOUSE STYLES - -During the first three decades of the 20th century, while the Colonial -Revival houses were being built in both one and two story versions, -other styles were being represented in the Twin Cities. The Tudor -Revival, Prairie Style and the California Bungalow received widespread -acceptance in the 1920’s and 1930’s. One selection each of the Tudor -Revival and Prairie Style are illustrated herein; also depicted is an -example of a hybrid Queen Anne-California Bungalow House. - -The Tudor Revival style, popular in the United States from 1890 to 1940, -received only nominal acceptance in North Louisiana. Characteristics -included a simple box plan with extensions, facade dominated by two or -more prominent cross gables and windows in multiple groupings with -multipane glazing. Also used were massive chimneys with chimney pots. - -The Masur Museum on South Grand Street in Monroe was constructed 1929 by -Elmer Slagle, Sr. Depicted in figure 50 are the characteristics of the -Tudor Revival described above. This stone veneer house has a mezzanine -porch in the rear overlooking a formal garden and the Ouachita River. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 50. The 1929 Slagle house, now Masur Museum - (Bldg. 152)._] - -A Monroe landmark is the 1926 G. B. Cooley house also on South Grand -Street. See figure 51. Designed by the architect Walter Burley Griffin, -an associate of Frank Lloyd Wright, the plan was laid out to resemble -the decks of a steamboat. Mr. Cooley, the owner, was a steamboat captain -who plied the Ouachita for many years. The Prairie Style house has 100 -windows which may be opened to take advantage of summer breezes. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 51. Cooley house designed in the Prairie Style - (Bldg. 153)._] - -An interesting Trenton Street house in West Monroe, figure 52, -represents a mingling of stylistic detailing. The gable has wood -shingles similar to those used in the Queen Anne styles, and the small -patterned window panes of that period are reused in a new form. But the -exposed rafter ends and expansive overhangs are characteristics of the -California Bungalow style. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 52. On Trenton Street, West Monroe, a gable - detail. (Bldg. 154)._] - -Thus, Monroe and West Monroe contain a variety of residential stylistic -expressions as evidenced in the extant houses. - - -THE 20TH CENTURY CALIFORNIA BUNGALOW HOUSE - - [Illustration: _Fig. 53. A California Bungalow in north Monroe - (Bldg. 155)._] - - [Illustration: _Fig. 54. An expressive West Monroe California - Bungalow (Bldg. 156)._] - -An innovation in housing design and stylistic detailing occurred in -North Louisiana during the second decade of the 20th century. The houses -of two California architects, Charles and Henry Greene, led to the -establishment of a style known as “Craftsman.” Several influences—the -English Arts and Crafts movement, interest in oriental wood architecture -and training in the manual arts—may have encouraged the Greene brothers -to design intricately detailed buildings. Their work and other -California residences received publicity in the various national -magazines. Thus, the one-story Craftsman house soon became the most -popular and fashionable smaller house in the country. In Louisiana these -houses have been labeled “California Bungalows.” - -The characteristic features occurred normally on the facades, that -portion of the house most visible to the public. The low-pitched gabled -roof had wide, unenclosed eaves and overhangs and roof rafters were -exposed and decorative false beams or braces occurred under the gables. -Porches were full or partial width across the front. - -The porch or gallery columns had distinctive detailing. Typically, short -square upper columns were placed over more massive masonry piers or a -solid porch balustrade (skirt). The columns, piers, or balustrades often -began at ground level and extended with no interruption to a level above -the porch floor. - -The California Bungalow style houses constitute the most numerous group -of extant styled houses in the Twin Cities. As such, they represent a -definite attempt to establish a styled expression of individuality for -the houses of the general populace. The examples illustrated on these -pages are representative of this style. - -In figure 53 a California Bungalow in north Monroe was built with the -front gable expressed in the broad three-windowed dormer. Note the -extensive dormer roof overhang. The full width front gallery is provided -with screens between the straight full height wood columns; the gallery -roof overhang contains exposed rafter ends. - -Another expression of the California Bungalow appeared in the circa 1930 -West Monroe house shown in figure 54. This two story house has a front -gable and multiple groupings of windows. But the greatest expression -occurs in the one-story gallery. It has a smaller low pitched gable roof -with four full height square brick piers and a half height brick pier -near the door. The balustrade continues to the side porte cochere, or -car shelter. - -The freedom of design offered by the California Bungalow style allowed a -house form beyond that of the standard simple rectangle, and the West -Monroe circa 1920 house in figure 55 used this freedom. The roof -contains no gables, the front porch is allowed to wrap around the side, -and the rear porch is enclosed providing additional room. The exposed -rafter ends support a rather deep overhang. The porch supports are -constructed of massive wood posts on half height brick piers. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 55. A rambling California Bungalow on Trenton - St., West Monroe (Bldg. 157)._] - -Yet another expression occurs in the West Monroe circa 1926 house in -figure 56. The high roof allows space for attic rooms. Note shed roof -dormer. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 56. Another expression of the popular - California Bungalow (Bldg. 158)._] - -The California Bungalow style continued to be popular in the region -until after World War II when it was supplanted by the “ranch” form -house with a concrete slab floor. - - -A 20TH CENTURY COMPLEX—IN THE CITY - -When the J. E. Peters house and auxiliary buildings were built in the -late 1920’s and 1930’s, the site was on the southern limits of the city -of Monroe, but it subsequently was included within the city boundaries. -Thus, today a unique rural atmosphere exists within an urban context. - -The complex depicted in figures 57 through 60 contains a two story -house, garage apartment, storage or quarters building and a pair of -water storage tanks. - -The two story house, figure 57, contains four rooms over four rooms and -a stair and bath facilities. The one story gallery on the front and side -provides ample opportunity for relaxation and relief from the heat of -the interior rooms in the summer. Note the absence of a chimney; winter -heating would have been provided by the newly discovered natural gas. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 57. The drawings on these pages are of the same - site in south Monroe, the Peters house (Bldg. 126)._] - -In the rear of the Peters house is a 1930’s garage apartment, figure 58. -This element is a unique feature in the history of urban residential -architecture. The automobile became obtainable by the urban family -during the second decade of the 20th century, and it was sheltered in a -structure separate from the residence. The garage would usually provide -shelter for one to two automobiles. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 58. A garage apartment adjacent to the house. - (Bldg. 126)._] - -Often an apartment would be placed above the garage, as shown. Note the -exterior access stairway. In post World War II residences the automobile -would be sheltered in a garage attached to the main residence; -subsequently this garage would relinquish its walls and doors and be -known as a “carport.” Thus, the garage apartment holds a unique place in -America domestic architecture. - -The Peters store house, or quarters, figure 59, also was representative -of the era described. This building has exposed rafter ends, five panel -doors, milled (not brick) siding, and is raised three steps above the -ground. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 59. The storage building in the rear (Bldg. - 126)._] - -The water towers shown in figure 60 are elevated to provide gravity -pressure for water needed on the farm complex, whether for irrigation or -livestock or domestic use. The towers are situated in a grove of pecan -trees. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 60. Water tanks on the farm site (Bldg. 126)._] - -As urbanization increased, the opportunity for complexes such as this to -survive decreased. Holdings were subdivided into residential lots, and -the rural feeling and inherent privacy which it provided yielded to an -environment of urban compactness. This is the price of progress as a -city expands. - - -URBAN ECCLESIASTICAL - -A distinct contrast exists between the rural ecclesiastical building and -that of the urban area. The urban congregations tended to require more -stylized edifices for worship. This may be apparent in the examples -illustrated herein. - -The 1899 St. Matthews Roman Catholic Church is an excellent example of -the Gothic Revival style. Characteristics of this style include the -tower with belfry and spire, the single or grouped pointed-arch windows, -the stepped buttresses and deeply recessed openings and wooden doors. -These characteristics are evident in the church in figure 61. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 61. The 1899 Gothic Revival St. Matthews Church - (Bldg. 159)._] - -The Tabernacle Baptist Church on Beard Street, Monroe, was a later -version of a style conscious church building. The opening is recessed -and has a round arch over the door. A vertical accent was obtained by -use of the small tower, figure 62. Brick as an exterior wall finishing -material was commonly used in the towns; this contrasted to the almost -universal use of wood siding on churches in the rural areas of the -parish. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 62. Tabernacle Baptist Church on Beard Street, - Monroe (Bldg. 160)._] - - -EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS - -There are a number of extant 50 year old educational buildings in the -Twin Cities which are excellent examples of the various prevailing -architectural styles. The Mediterranean style is evident in such -elementary schools as Georgia Tucker, Lida Benton, and Barksdale Faulk. -Jacobean Revival may be seen in the old Ouachita Parish High School -building on South Grand; Art Deco is represented in Neville High School -on Forsythe Avenue, Monroe. It is very fortunate that these buildings -remain and are either still being utilized as educational facilities or -are being converted for contemporary adaptive reuse, the latter being -the case in the South Grand building mentioned. - -Georgia Tucker School, figure 63, was built in 1919 and named for Mrs. -Georgia Tucker Stubbs, a member of a pioneer Ouachita Parish family. Its -Mediterranean style features include monumentality, solidity, use of low -arches and imaginative towers. It also employs a unique treatment of -terracotta in cast panels and columns capitals. One might note the use -of free standing decorative nonfunctional columns on the front. The -separate entrances for grades one through three and grades four through -six are clearly defined. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 63. Georgia Tucker School, 1919 (Bldg. 162)._] - -The Jacobean Revival style was used for the Ouachita Parish High School -building depicted in figure 64. Built in the late 1920’s, this three -story remnant of the high school complex displays monumentality and -elaborate detailing at the South Grand Street entrance to the classroom -building. Quoins were used at masonry corners. The roof parapet wall -contains decorative penetrations and projections as an expression of the -method in which the building relates to the skyline. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 64. The Jacobean Revival Ouachita Parish High - School building, 1920’s (Bldg. 161)._] - - -URBAN COMMERCIAL AND CIVIC BUILDINGS - -It has been previously illustrated that the urban residential, -ecclesiastical and educational buildings were constructed to reflect -current stylistic trends more than their rural counterparts; a similar -observation might be made about commercial urban and rural buildings. -The urban commercial buildings depicted on these two pages represent -some of the stylistic expressions of the Twin Cities from the time of -early settlement, the 1840’s, to the period of the oil boom, the 1930’s. -As such, they might be viewed as a summary of commercial architecture in -the Twin Cities. - -The Isaiah Garrett law office, figure 65, was constructed in the 1840’s. -Its configuration is similar to that of the small residence of the -period, a two room core with rear wing, chimneys on end elevations, and -an attached front gallery. This building is now the Colonial Dames -Museum. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 65. Isaiah Garrett law office, 1840’s (Bldg. - 163)._] - -The two story commercial building shown in figure 66 was built in the -1890’s on North Grand Street. It contains large glass areas for display -and interior light, and the second floor contains arched windows on the -street facade but flat lintel windows overlooking the river. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 66. 1890’s commercial building on North Grand, - Monroe (Bldg. 164)._] - -T. M. Parker built a two story commercial building on DeSiard Street in -1908, figure 67. This building was used as a hotel for a long period. -There is a similarity in the manner in which the roof lines of the -buildings in figures 67 and 68 were constructed, since both parapets -have shaped and raised center sections and projecting cornices. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 67. The T. M. Parker Building on DeSiard Street - (Bldg. 165)._] - -The West Monroe 1909 two story building depicted in figure 68 was built -with similar characteristics as those previously described, a large -glass area on ground floors and a masonry upper facade. But this -building contains other individualistic features. The second floor opens -onto a balcony which overlooks the Ouachita River, and a very elaborate -cast stone lady’s head is incorporated into the pilaster on the left -side of the front elevation. A companion sculpture on the right pilaster -no longer exists. One might wonder if it were a male or female likeness. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 68. A West Monroe commercial building, 1909 - (Bldg. 166)._] - -Civic architecture is represented by the 1925 Ouachita Parish -Courthouse, figure 69. Neoclassicism was used to represent monumentality -through the application of engaged Ionic columns on the major facades. -Broad entry terraces and steps heightened the drama of entry into the -main floor. The roofline contains a balustrade as an expression of -uniting the building with the skyline. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 69. The neoclassical Ouachita Parish Courthouse - 1925 (Bldg. 167)._] - -The Frances Hotel, figure 70, was constructed in 1930 and named for Mrs. -Frances McHenry, wife of a founder of Delta Airlines. Its Art Deco style -has a pronounced verticality and linear quality. This early Monroe -skyscraper has elaborate window and facade treatment on the first three -floors with minimal facade decoration on the hotel room floors above. -The building is crowned with elaboration on the facades of the top -floor. This floor once contained a ballroom which overlooked the city -and the river. Arched windows with elaborate projections above broke the -skyline. And above the roof was an enormous red beacon which was visible -for miles at night. The beacon no longer is lighted. - - [Illustration: _Fig. 70. Frances Hotel, Monroe, a 1930 Art Deco - building (Bldg. 168)._] - -The buildings pictured on these and the four preceding pages are -examples of the manner in which the designers attempted to create -aesthetically pleasing architecture for both the distant and the near-by -viewer. Several have interesting rooflines which integrate the built -environment with the skyline. They also contain elements which may be -viewed from a closer position as a person enters the building; such -elements include steps, entry details, and intricate window trim. - - - - - CONCLUSION.... - - -Ouachita Parish possesses a rich architectural heritage. In time, this -heritage spans from the beginnings of Layton Castle in the early 1800’s -to the high rise Frances Hotel of the 1930’s—and on to the present. In -terms of style, this heritage includes the simple one room houses as -well as representatives of Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, -Colonial Revival, Classic Revival, California Bungalow, Prairie Style, -Tudor Revival, and Art Deco. - -The life styles and cultures of the inhabitants are reflected and -expressed in this architectural heritage. These cultures included that -of the small farms west of the river, the plantations east of the river, -and the urban culture as seen in the architecture of Monroe and West -Monroe. What a rich assortment exists within a 20 mile radius of the -center of Ouachita Parish. - -But this heritage is in danger. As progress continues and prosperity -grows, the architectural heritage often diminishes. Older buildings are -seen as liabilities and become victims of the wrecking ball. These -buildings, whether constructed of log or brick with Romanesque or Gothic -details, will not be erected again. Therefore, the visual insights into -past cultures which these older buildings represent are lost forever. - -It is hoped that the publication of this collection of Ouachita Parish’s -architectural heritage will make the public more aware of its valuable -treasure as evidenced in older architecture. And in turn, it is hoped -that this awareness will assist in the preservation of vestiges of our -traditional past. - - F.

The purpose of the -surveys has been to ascertain the types, location -and quality of buildings 50 years or more in age. -The architecture students toured the highways and -back roads and photographed houses, outbuildings, -churches, schools and commercial buildings. They -interviewed occupants and area historians in search -of information concerning original builder/owners. -Each building was then documented, and the -compilation of documentation was cataloged by the -Louisiana Division of Historic Preservation in -Baton Rouge.</p> -<p>Each student was required to prepare eight pen -or pencil sketches of buildings of individual choice. -The original drawings, of which there are now over -1300, were placed in the William King Stubbs -Architectural Archives, the permanent collection of -North Louisiana architectural drawings at Louisiana -Tech University in Ruston.</p> -<p>The Ouachita Parish publication is the initial -volume of a series entitled “The Architecture of the -North Louisiana River Parishes.” The Ouachita -River divides the parish into two distinct regions, -the western portion being hilly country with the -eastern portion being flat river delta terrain.</p> -<p>Thus, a unique opportunity exists to study in one -parish various lifestyles and cultures as reflected in -historic architecture. Not only is there the rural -architecture of the western hills which contrast with -the rural architecture of the delta lands, but these -elements may be examined in relation to the urban -architecture of Monroe and West Monroe—The -Twin Cities on the Ouachita.</p> -<p>Following is the history of the settlement of the -parish and descriptions of the areas west of the -Ouachita, east of the Ouachita, and the urban -fabric of the Twin Cities.

Early European explorers included DeSoto -(1542), La Salle (1682), and Bienville (1703). But it -remained for Don Juan Filhoil with a commission -from the Spanish governor to establish the first -permanent settlement on the banks of the Ouachita. -When Filhoil arrived in 1783, he named the site -for the outpost Prairie des Canots for the Indian -and trapper canoes gathered there. The military -post was later named Ft. Miro in honor of the -Spanish governor of Louisiana.</p> -<p>A colonization scheme formulated by the Spanish -government enticed the Marquis de Maison -Rouge to establish a settlement further north near -the conflux of the Ouachita River and Bayou -Bartholomew, the site of the present town of Sterlington. -But this settlement lost its position as a -rival for the seat of parish government after Filhoil -laid out a plot in 1811 for a town on his plantation -adjacent to Ft. Miro.</p> -<p>An exciting event occurred at the townsite in -May, 1819, one which was to have a two-fold effect -on the 400 inhabitants of Ft. Miro. The event was -the docking of the <i>James Monroe</i>, the first steamboat -to ply the Ouachita to this northerly point.</p> -<p>The ensuing excitement effected a village name -change to “Monroe.” And for nearly a century the -Ouachita River and steam powered boats combined -to form a great highway of commerce and -transportation for the region.</p> -<p>Overland transportation systems developed -throughout the territory during the 1800’s. The -earlier Indian trails often became bridle paths. In -1839 a road was cut through from Monroe to -Vicksburg, but it was passable only in dry weather. -Stage coach service was initiated in 1849. During -this era a road was established westward through -the hills beyond the river; another went northward -toward Arkansas. These westerly roads later -became wagon roads bringing caravans of wagons -from Jackson and Claiborne Parishes to river trade -centers such as the former town of Trenton, two -miles north of the present town of West Monroe. -<span class="pb" id="Page_5">5</span> -But it would be the advent of the Vicksburg to -Shreveport railroad in the 1880’s which would -provide the communication link between the east -and west portions of the Ouachita Parish. In 1853 -the state legislature granted the first charter for the -construction of the Vicksburg, Texas, and the Pacific -Railroad through North Louisiana. The first -passenger service from Vicksburg to Monroe was -in 1860. The tracks were destroyed by Union -forces in the Civil War but were reconstructed and -replaced in service by 1870. In 1882 the railroad -bridge spanning the Ouachita was opened. It contained -wood planking for vehicular and pedestrian -circulation. Rail passenger service from Monroe to -Shreveport commenced on July 10, 1884.</p> -<p>Ironically, the installation of the railroad service -initiated the demise of two regional institutions, the -town of Trenton on the west side of the river and -the steamboat industry. Trenton, which had been -platted into town lots in 1851, declined with the -location of the railroad two miles south. Cottonport, -a tiny community at the bridgehead on the -west side of the Ouachita, changed its name to -West Monroe and eventually developed into an -important business and industrial community.</p> -<p>Steamboat traffic on the Ouachita, which had -begun in 1819, yielded to the speed and flexibility of -railroad service. The glamorous steamboating era -of nearly a century of luxurious but sometimes -tragic travel came to an end in the 1910’s.</p> -<h3 id="c5">20TH CENTURY DEVELOPMENT</h3> -<p>Thus, the parish of Ouachita, which had been -created in 1807 and which was subsequently divided -into nine parishes, entered the 20th century as a -rural agricultural region containing small urban -entities. Surrounding Monroe were large plantations -with cotton production as the major source of -wealth. But with the discovery of gas by Louis -Locke in 1916 in Morehouse Parish, the area -became known as the Monroe Gas Field, one of -the largest gas fields in the world at the time. With -this wealth came progress—paved streets, “skyscrapers” -and a salt water natatorium in the city of -Monroe. And the parish prospered as well. Industries -using available natural gas and paper mills -using yellow pine from the nearby hilly region -located in the area.</p> -<p>Transportation routes have continued to unite -the parish to the region and to the world. U.S. -Highway 80 was constructed in the 1930’s as a -major east-west artery. Delta Air Lines began in -Monroe as a small cotton dusting operation. And -Interstate 20, completed in the 1960’s, now serves -as an important coast-to-coast transportation route.</p> -<p>Ouachita Parish has been called the “mother -parish” of northeast Louisiana. It has contributed -much to the welfare of the region, and it continues -to offer the leadership of a pacemaker parish as the -twenty-first century approaches.</p> -<div class="img" id="imgx2"> -<img src="images/p03a.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="1072" /> -<p class="pcap"><i>Map of Ouachita Parish, 1980’s</i>.</p> -</div> -<div class="pb" id="Page_6">6</div> -<h2 id="c6"><span class="small">WEST OF THE OUACHITA....</span></h2> -<div class="img"> -<img src="images/p04.jpg" id="ncfig2" alt="Map" width="1000" height="1515" /> -</div> -<div class="pb" id="Page_7">7</div> -<h3 id="c7">CONTRASTS ACROSS THE RIVER</h3> -<p>The rolling piney hill landscape of Ouachita -Parish west of the river contrasts with the delta -overflow land east of the river. This contrast was -reflected in settlement patterns with different land -allocations and building techniques. The delta -lands had been acquired by pioneers in the late -18th century and a plantation economy evolved. -The less productive western hilly area was settled in -the 19th century as small farm holdings. The eastern -lands were subject to river overflows; houses -were elevated and were generally of wood frame -construction. Pioneer houses west of the river were -often constructed of logs on wood or stone piers in -close proximity to the ground.</p> -<p>Thus, contrasting cultures existed on opposite -banks of the river. In this section the architecture -of the western bank will be explored through an -explanation of its extant architecture as evidenced -in housing, out-buildings, churches and commercial -buildings.</p> -<h3 id="c8">THE LOG HOUSE, 19TH CENTURY</h3> -<p>The early North Louisiana pioneers were more -concerned with the erection of a shelter for protection -from the elements and wildlife than they were -with architectural styles. Folk houses were constructed -of either horizontal logs or wood frame.</p> -<p>The typical log folk house plans of the mid 19th -century in the hilly country were the single pen -(room) wide and the dogtrot. The dogtrot plan -consisted of the two single pens (rooms) separated -by a floored and roofed but open walled space. -(The designation “pen” is used only in reference to -the rooms built of log construction).</p> -<p>Folk house plans constructed of wood frame -during the 19th century were the one room, two -room, saddlebag, dogtrot, central hall and later the -gable front and wing. These house types will be -examined subsequently.</p> -<p>Pictured on this page are examples of log construction. -In <a href="#fig4">figure 4</a> the logs were split; the inner -room wall surface would be even. In <a href="#fig5">figure 5</a> may -be seen several elements of folk log house construction -in the drawing of a house being dismantled. -This dogtrot with open passage between pens -had an attached porch, square logs with square -notches, an end exterior chimney (base visible), -three inch round pole roof rafters and gallery door -openings with the head occurring at the seventh -log. In <a href="#fig6">figure 6</a> a close-up detail shows the square -hewn logs and square notches on this dogtrot.</p> -<div class="img" id="fig4"> -<img src="images/p04a.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="470" /> -<p class="pcap"><i>Fig. 4.

Windows are six lights -over six lights. A wing was attached to the rear. -The original chimney is still visible.</p> -<p>The gable front and wing plan house in <a href="#fig8">figure 8</a> -was popular in the period from 1890 to 1920. The -key feature was the forward wing which occupied a -portion of the full gallery and the resultant half -porch. Often the front wall of the wing was angled, -or cut away, but the full roof gable remained. Or, -an additional polygonal bay was added. Note the -Queen Anne scroll and trim on the porch. This -replaced the simple 6″ × 6″ square post of older -house forms. This house plan sometimes featured -a central hall.</p> -<p>Though in a deteriorated state, the two room -house in <a href="#fig9">figure 9</a> has features worth noting. The -siding is vertical board and batten, a technique of -construction which appeared with the erection of -lumber and railroad worker housing in the 1880’s. -The front covered area does not extend the full -width of the core; therefore, it is termed a “porch” -in contrast to the “gallery” of the previous two -examples. Also, it is “attached” and not “integral” -with the main core roof structure.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_9">9</div> -<h3 id="c10">THE WOOD FRAME HOUSE, 20TH CENTURY</h3> -<p>The 20th century houses shown on this page -exhibit a quest for individuality and contemporary -expression. <a href="#fig10">Figure 10</a> depicts a typical central hall -plan. The roof is hip and not the usual gable. This -detail required a shorter gallery which was not -flush with the extreme end walls. The front door is -flanked by full width windows. Shutters were -added to the front gallery windows.</p> -<p>The bungalow plan appeared in North Louisiana -in the mid 1910’s. This two room wide and two -or more room deep house type (<a href="#fig11">figure 11</a>) proliferated -in rural and urban areas. In its simplest form -there was a forward facing gable with a porch. -Here is depicted a half porch. Double windows -were used.</p> -<p>The 1930’s house illustrated in <a href="#fig12">figure 12</a> is -typical of the one room wide, several room deep -shotgun plan found throughout much of Louisiana. -This plan type became the typical house type for -workers in New Orleans after the Civil War.

The Tudor Revival, Prairie Style and the -California Bungalow received widespread acceptance -in the 1920’s and 1930’s. One selection each -of the Tudor Revival and Prairie Style are illustrated -herein; also depicted is an example of a hybrid -Queen Anne-California Bungalow House.</p> -<p>The Tudor Revival style, popular in the United -States from 1890 to 1940, received only nominal -acceptance in North Louisiana. Characteristics -included a simple box plan with extensions, facade -dominated by two or more prominent cross gables -and windows in multiple groupings with multipane -glazing. Also used were massive chimneys with -chimney pots.</p> -<p>The Masur Museum on South Grand Street in -Monroe was constructed 1929 by Elmer Slagle, Sr. -Depicted in <a href="#fig50">figure 50</a> are the characteristics of the -Tudor Revival described above.

An expressive West Monroe California -Bungalow (Bldg. 156).</i></p> -</div> -<p>An innovation in housing design and stylistic -detailing occurred in North Louisiana during the -second decade of the 20th century. The houses of -two California architects, Charles and Henry -Greene, led to the establishment of a style known -as “Craftsman.” Several influences—the English -Arts and Crafts movement, interest in oriental -wood architecture and training in the manual -arts—may have encouraged the Greene brothers to -design intricately detailed buildings. Their work -and other California residences received publicity -in the various national magazines. Thus, the one-story -Craftsman house soon became the most -popular and fashionable smaller house in the -country. In Louisiana these houses have been -labeled “California Bungalows.”</p> -<p>The characteristic features occurred normally -on the facades, that portion of the house most visible -to the public. The low-pitched gabled roof had -wide, unenclosed eaves and overhangs and roof -rafters were exposed and decorative false beams or -braces occurred under the gables. Porches were -full or partial width across the front.</p> -<p>The porch or gallery columns had distinctive -detailing. Typically, short square upper columns -were placed over more massive masonry piers or a -solid porch balustrade (skirt). The columns, piers, -or balustrades often began at ground level and -extended with no interruption to a level above the -porch floor.</p> -<p>The California Bungalow style houses constitute -the most numerous group of extant styled houses in -the Twin Cities. As such, they represent a definite -attempt to establish a styled expression of individuality -for the houses of the general populace. The -examples illustrated on these pages are representative -of this style.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_27">27</div> -<p>In <a href="#fig53">figure 53</a> a California Bungalow in north -Monroe was built with the front gable expressed in -the broad three-windowed dormer.

This two story house has a -front gable and multiple groupings of windows. -But the greatest expression occurs in the one-story -gallery. It has a smaller low pitched gable roof with -four full height square brick piers and a half height -brick pier near the door. The balustrade continues -to the side porte cochere, or car shelter.</p> -<p>The freedom of design offered by the California -Bungalow style allowed a house form beyond that -of the standard simple rectangle, and the West -Monroe circa 1920 house in <a href="#fig55">figure 55</a> used this -freedom. The roof contains no gables, the front -porch is allowed to wrap around the side, and the -rear porch is enclosed providing additional room. -The exposed rafter ends support a rather deep -overhang.

E. Peters house and auxiliary buildings -were built in the late 1920’s and 1930’s, the site -was on the southern limits of the city of Monroe, -but it subsequently was included within the city -boundaries. Thus, today a unique rural atmosphere -exists within an urban context.</p> -<p>The complex depicted in figures <a href="#fig57">57</a> through <a href="#fig60">60</a> -contains a two story house, garage apartment, -storage or quarters building and a pair of water -storage tanks.</p> -<p>The two story house, <a href="#fig57">figure 57</a>, contains four -rooms over four rooms and a stair and bath facilities. -The one story gallery on the front and side -provides ample opportunity for relaxation and -relief from the heat of the interior rooms in the -summer.

This element is a -unique feature in the history of urban residential -architecture. The automobile became obtainable -by the urban family during the second decade of -the 20th century, and it was sheltered in a structure -separate from the residence.

This may be apparent -in the examples illustrated herein.</p> -<p>The 1899 St. Matthews Roman Catholic Church -is an excellent example of the Gothic Revival style. -Characteristics of this style include the tower with -belfry and spire, the single or grouped pointed-arch -windows, the stepped buttresses and deeply recessed -openings and wooden doors.
