Property Description

Elegant and storied, this Plantation-style treasure built between 1898–1904 once served as the Albert Hanson Lumber Mill Office, the centerpiece of a thriving 65-acre mill community in Garden City, Louisiana. Steeped in history and craftsmanship, the home features a grand octagonal rotunda crowned by a solid virgin cypress spiral staircase, exquisite custom millwork inside and out, and transom windows above every doorway.

Two built-in vaults speak to the building’s industrial past, while modern updates blend gracefully with its heritage. Listed on both the Louisiana Historic Register and the Library of Congress, this property offers a rare chance to own and steward a unique piece of Louisiana’s architectural history.
