Lefort House, also known as Omega House, is a historic residence located at 1302 LA 1, in Thibodaux, Louisiana.
The structure is a 1+1⁄2-story Greek Revival raised-frame cottage immediately adjacent to Southern Pacific Railroad line. The original building was a small cottage built in c.1840 by the Boutary family, which was then connected to a larger Greek Revival structure in c.1855 by Pierce Lefort, after the property was purchased at a sheriff's sale.[2][3]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 2008.[1]
