c. 1840
The kitchen was built c. 1840 on Bagatelle Plantation near Union, Louisiana. It served as a kitchen originally but was later converted to a schoolhouse that was run by 3 of the Tureaud sisters. The building was changed back to a kitchen upon being moved to the Rural Life Museum in 1972. It was built from mortise-and-tenon construction, with original briquette-entre-poteaux walls and an umbrella-style, pyramidal hip roof. Although placed at the overseer's house here, it would have been the type of kitchen to serve a plantation house. Meals were prepared over an open-hearth fireplace.Donated: given in memory of Mr. & Mrs. Francis Henderson James, Sr., by their children.| HM Number | HM248Z |
