The Dansereau House, also known as the Caldwell Home, is a historic mansion located at 506 St. Philip Street in Thibodaux, Louisiana.
The first floor was built in 1845–47 for James A. Scudday.[2][3] It was purchased by Canadians, the Dansereau family, after the American Civil War of 1861–1865.[2] A second floor was added for its new owner, Dr Hercules Dansereau, in 1875.[2] The house was repurposed as a bed and breakfast by its owner, Democratic Representative Damon Baldone, in 2010.[2]
The property was designed by architect Henri Thiberge in the Italianate style, with a Second Empire roof.[4] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 21, 1978.[1]
