Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

No change: blue. The Soniat Guest House is housed in an outstanding Creole townhouse in the late Georgian style, which was built by builder François Boisdoré for Joseph Soniat Dufossat in 1829. An archival drawing from 1865 shows the dwelling with all round-headed openings on the ground floor rather than the existing square-headed doors and arched carriageway; with the original wrought iron galleries and without other alterations made after 1865.
