Maison Buller
Buller House:A Creole Style House This Creole style house was built in 1807 on land acquired by Joseph Buller near Prairie Ronde in St. Landry Parish. It contains several characteristics of the Creole architectural style including a steep-pitched hipped roof and a large front porch, to help protect the home from hot sun and heavy rains. Additionally, the home has no hallways, includes a center fireplace, and centers around a large room flanked by smaller bedrooms. Differences between Creole and Cajun Architecture Creole architectural style is distinct from Cajun in several ways. A classic Cajun roof has a gable end and exterior stairs leading to an attic residence. In contrast, Creole homes may incorporate a hipped roof design and have no exterior stairs. In the rear, a wide porch, known as a loggia, separates two rooms, known as cabinets. These rooms are open on three sides to allow for cooling cross ventilation breezes, and were often used as sleeping quarters. Cabinets are characteristic of Creole architecture, but some Cajun homes also include the design. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-LA MAISON BULLER: Une maison dans le style créole La constructionHM Number | HM2IQ1 |
