A Preview

"Built in the seventeen seventies using briquette entre poteaux construction. Survived both great fires. The name Lafitte never appears in property records — per historian Stanley Clisby Arthur, the Robert family owned the site from seventeen seventy-three to eighteen thirty-three. Jean Lafitte ran a smuggling empire from Barataria Bay."
