Abstract
B&W photo, 1930s. Home of Mary Raymond, 319 Stuart Street, Lafayette, La. Written on Photo: Mary Raymond, known as "Tante Marie," is an expert at the making of oreille de cochon (pig's ears). She was called "Tante Marie" at University of Southwestern, where she cooked for 13 years. Among other white frends she is known as "Lafille." The ears are a delicate pastry served with syrup which she makes for the purpose, at the unheard of price of 5 cents apiece (the ear about the size of a plate). Lafille had children and she has grandchildren, but to quote her, she "never had a husband," she preferred to keep her own name. Born a slave, she is indeed a character."

Abstract
B&W photo, 1930s. Barn at Long Plantation Home in Lafayette, Louisiana. Written on photo: "Approximately two-thirds of the barn on Long Plantation in Lafayette Parish. The low roof allows for protection of the horses and cows from the weather while eating from the mangers which are conveniently located just below the loft floor (which does not extend the entire length or width of the unusually constructed barn). The gable-roofed entrance ways provide for the height of a wagon loaded with straw to enter the barn and have the straw transferred from the wagon to the loft by use of a harpoon - thus saving manpower and time. Notice the concrete watering trough with the roof to keep the water cool and also notice the little negro boy pumping water into trough."
