This 1829 building on the grounds of Laura Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana is awaiting restoration. The main house was severely damaged by fire in 2004; the funds earmarked to restore this building were diverted to repair the main house. The docent assured us it's structurally sound and will be renovated sometime...
There's no place like home ... and I can just imagine sitting on that bench under the tree, with a glass of something cool in my hand, admiring the property and telling myself , "Yes, a few bits need fixing, but there's always tomorrow!"
