726-728 Toulouse St. - Coffini Cottage
732 Toulouse St. - Cafe Toulousin

On September 28, 1806, the heirs of Dame Francoise Morgan, Widow Cofini or Coffini (it was spelled both ways in the Act of Sale) sold to Dame Marie Francoise de Jean, wife of Orsin Durel, a building lot of 60 feet front [and] depth, "with all buildings, circumstances, and dependencies." This was a stereotyped legal phrase.

This 60 foot lot included both the present No. 726-728, or Coffini Cottage, and No. 732, or Cafe Toulousin. It would seem that if both houses had been existing at the time of this sale, the fact would have been stated.

The next transfer of this property occurred on December 10, 1846, when it was sold as two lots. Louis Hardy de Boisblanc acquired No. 726-728 (then No. 89) for 2,850 piastres, and by another Act of Sale before the name Notary Public, Felix Percy, Arnold Rivereaux acquired No. 732 for a slightly larger sum. In these Acts No. 726-728 was described as a house of bricks between posts (briques-entre poteaux), while No. 732 was described as a brick house. This correctly describes the houses as they exist today.

The cottage at No. 726-728 is weather-boarded. The boards in the gable ends are quite old, and underneath the weather-boarding...a board is missing.
