Hewes House - Jeanerette, LA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Home was closed on my visit. It was still in restoration at time of Waymarking. There is a historical marker in front of house, which gives a good history.
Also plenty found on internet searches about home and Harry B. Hewes for whom the house is named.
State Historical marker states:
This East Lake Victorian home, built in 1897, was the home of Harry Bertram Hewes until his death in 1953. Hewes, descendant of one of thesigners of the Declaration of Independence, was a founder and co~owner of Jeanerette Lumber and Shingle Co., which harvested Cypress lumber from the Atchafalaya Basin between 1894 and 1925, and milled it on the site of City Park on Bayou Teche just northeast of the Home. Jeanerette Lumber & Shingle Co. remains one of the largest landowners of property in the Basin. The locally famous paddlewheel steamboat, the "Amy Hewes", was built by Hewes and named after his daughter.
