Cousson House, Vermilionville

Lafayette, Louisiana

​The Coussan Home is an 1850’s boussiliage (mud and spanish moss) home which was donated to the University  and moved to Vermilionville Living History Museum by UL Lafayette Building Institute students. There it was restored with a cypress porch, cedar shake roof, cypress siding, cypress piers, handicapped accessible ramp, and patched plaster/boussiliage. A local artisan constructed a boussiliage chimney.
