1 PRST 6510 - Studio in Building Preservation G. Cizek, M. Thomas, H. Knight April 17, 2010
Anthony DelRosario Master in Preservation Studies - Tulane School of Architecture
On April 9, Studio in Building Preservation made our seventh field trip of the
semester to Baton Rouge to visit the Rural Life Museum (Fig. 1), the Old Louisiana
State Capitol (Fig. 2), the Louisiana State Capitol (Fig. 3), and the offices of the Division
of Historic Preservation in the Capitol Annex Building (Fig. 4). During the day, the class
saw a well-composed outdoor museum, two national historic landmarks, and a
presentation from several employees of the State Historic Preservation Office.
The Rural Life Museum is a “center for the collection, preservation, and
interpretation of the material culture, cultural landscapes and vernacular architecture of
Louisiana and the Lower Mississippi River Valley” (rurallife.lsu.edu). The museum sits
on land that is part of a 450 acre tract, once known as Windrush Plantation (Fig. 5),
donated by the Burden Family in 1966. This gift is the largest received by Louisiana
State University and is valued at over 270 million dollars (rurallife.lsu.edu). Between
1970 and 1972, the first buildings to be moved to the land were six buildings to create a
“working” plantation with an overseer’s house, schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, and three
slave cabins. These buildings along with several pigeonniers (Fig. 6) and other
additional buildings comprise the plantation area.
Another section of the museum is the Upland South Area which contains
interesting buildings from northern Louisiana such as a dog trot house (Fig. 9), a
pioneer’s cabin, and a Carolina cabin. A newer section is the Acadian Area which has
an Acadian house and barn (Fig. 7), a shotgun house, and the Germain Bergeron
House (Fig. 8), a bousillage-entre-poteaux house that is one of the oldest surviving
Acadian dwellings in Louisiana (Historic American Building Surveys). A newly
