This grand "house with a story" sits at the back of an established neighborhood along an old coulee. In the tradition of antebellum-era homes in South Louisiana, the house fronts the waterway, while offering a gracious rear elevation to those who arrive by land. The home, reminiscent of those by A. Hays Town, is made up of multiple buildings that appear to have been constructed at different times.
The Owner's Cottage has the primitive details of an Acadian cabin, while the Main House is executed in the more refined, but still simple, Creole tradition. A Carriage House is seemingly the final building of the compound, standing as an axial terminus as one enters the motor court, functioning as an outdoor foyer to the home.
Maison Coulee Mine's porches serve as the outward identity of the house, with each one serving its own purpose. The porches maintain a constant, comfortable environment and make the home feel both graceful and inviting. This Shingle Style residence began with the client's love of Robert A. M. Stern's Life Magazine Dream House.
