The Prudhomme-Rouquier House, located in the Natchitoches Historic District, is a historically significant two-story French Creole building constructed between 1790 and 1811. Unique for being entirely built using the traditional bousillage method, it stands out as the only known true two-story bousillage building in the nation.
Originally owned by royal surgeon Jean Baptiste Prudhomme and later passed through various families, the house was acquired by the Service League of Natchitoches in 1976. Through restoration efforts funded by grants and cookbook sales, the Prudhomme-Rouquier House now offers tours and event rentals, showcasing its architectural and historical importance to visitors.
