MORE OLD HOMES
Although the Oleander Hotel is not a home, it was and still is a landmark on Grand Isle, even though it is no longer open and is falling apart.It was built by the Ludwig family to replace the older hotel at the end of the lane.
This bungalow style home is located on Highway 308 in Cut Off, next to the Cut Off Canal.Five state-owned slaves began digging the canal in 1853. The house was built in 1912 by the Elie Ducos family. It has 4 coal burning fireplaces, hardwood floors,11 foot ceilings, and is made of cypress. In 1994, Roland and LouAnna Guidry purchased the house and have been restoring it since then. The Guidry's were awarded the Preservation Award by the Historic Society for their efforts.
This is the DeMolle home in Grand Isle.It is about 110 years old. It was once located at the eastern end of the island. It is now located at the end of Adam Lane, one of the few streets that still have beautiful old oak trees.
Not much is known of this old home in Grand Isle. It was once owned by the Curtis Family. It is located near the old Ludwig Hotel and store on Ludwig Lane. Back in the early 1960's the children of the Island referred to it as the "Rougaroo House", the word "rougarou" being a corruption of the word "loup garou" or "werewolf".
The history of this house is not known although it's appearance clearly indicates it is over 100 years old. It is located on Post Lane, the darkest and creepiest street on Grand Isle. Behind this house is the Hirvin Barthelemy home that was built in the 1880's. Both houses were able to survive so many hurricanes because of all the oak trees surrounding them.
This beautiful home in Golden Meadow once belonged to the France family.
The first house is near Lockport on Hwy.1. The second is the Curole House. Now it is located in Cut Off and has a historical marker in front of it. It was once located in Cheniere.
This was the home of Judge Adam. It was being renovated in 1993 when a tornado struck and caused a lot of damage on the island and killed 2 people.
