This property was first recorded on a 1723 French colonial map of Louisiana. Louis Brognier de Clouet, a prominent Frenchman and critical figure in the development of New Orleans acquired this land from a Spanish land grant in 1774. The property was purchased and restored by Eric and Marguerite Knoblock in 1946, and is the oldest surviving structure in Plaquemines Parish.
