Louisiana Open House Tours

Harkening back to quaint, coastal cottages that took root in the Deep South, our Bayou Bend Idea House, located in Covington, Louisiana, displays a pleasing mix of Creole and Craftsman details.

Along it’s front, four tapered, stucco piers rise to support scroll-cut beams and an upper porch. Enhanced with exposed rafter tails and evenly spaced clusters of slender, square columns, the upper porch services the upstairs bedroom level. Bayou Bend also includes a detached garage with living space above, resembling a bygone carriage house.

Wednesday - Saturday 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
