Abstract
B&W photo, 1930s. Old Chargois Home. Lafayette, La. Written on photo: "The Old Chargois Home now occupied by Miss Josette Salles. Mr. Richard Chargois the first owner was one of four brothers who came from England in the early decades of the Nineteenth Century. Richard, Hubert, Sebastian and John were all brick-makers and continued that occupation upon reaching Vermillonville, La. This home since its construction in 1851 has remained continuously in the hands of some member or descendant of the Richard Chargois Family. It has never had a mortgage against it during 86 years in existence. Its inner walls are of brick. Its old chimney was built by an old slave by the name of Isaac Price. Isaac was said to be the best chimney-maker in Vermillonville; he was therefore rented out by his owner, whose name has been long forgotten. The porch possesses the hand-hewn and hand-grooved beams (still exposed to view) and supporting the ceiling which actually forms the flooring for the attic above it. Located on Buchanan Street going towards the Bell Telephone Co.'s Building and only one block from the Post Office."
