CHASTANT-FUSILIER HOME, 2903 Beach Blvd, built between 1855 and 1858 as a summer residence for Jean Marie Chastant and his wife, Marie Aimee Fusilier of "Austerlitz" plantation in New Roads, LA The family would travel down to the Gulf by sailing ship to their summer home to escape the disease ridden mosquitos that infested their plantation. Built of heart pine, it rests on a bed of charcoal made in a kiln on the site. The simple columned style reflects its plantation roots. Interior stairs were constructed circa 1915 and the exterior stairs were removed. After the Civil War the Chastants made this their home. It was used as a family residence and as a summer home until 1973, when the late Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Hull (Mrs. Hull was their great-granddaughter) began a major restoration. The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Additional restoration was done in 1996 by the owners, Dr. and Mrs. Edgar Warren Hull, who have preserved all the original furnishings. 2. HOME OF DR. AND MRS.
