Summary
| Description |
English: The Drouillard-Maupas house is the oldest surviving building in the Thomas Square district and one of few 18th century buildings left in GA. Built as a plantation house in 1799, it predates the street grid surrounding it and was built by Andre Droulliard, a refugee of the Haitian Revolution.
The house is an example of the 18th century coastal cottage style, of which few remain. The wood framed cottage raised on a first floor of brick masonry with central front and rear doors opening to covered porches demonstrate a style utilized in the southeastern coastal regions to keep the interior cool during hot and humid weather. The house has been used as a commercial building since 1941 and was officially protected by national landmark status in 1991. |
