Words cannot explain the beauty of this home. It is the sense of proportion, the beautiful views from every room, the furnishings, the quality of every last material and the workmanship. When you are inside the walled garden pool area, you truly feel as if you are in France. This was Mr. Town's last home. When interviewed and asked which home was his best, he commented that he was working on it now - it was this home! The roof was brought in from Atlanta and was salvaged from a 100 year old church - it is a gorgeous color! I have heard that the home is going on the market for sale in the near future. It is located on historic Highland Road in an area called "Millionaire's Mile". It sits on approximately 2 1/2 acres of land and has fabulous gardens and live oak trees that could never be replaced in my life time. I wish I could afford this home, whoever is fortunate enough to acquire it will not only have a work of art but a loving home to raise a family, to entertain, and to live in a place that is close to the most desirable attractions in Baton Rouge, yet private.Delorisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581446038788944427.post-43653670234134337192010-10-16T09:17:07.264-05:002010-10-16T09:17:07.264-05:00The second I see the for sale sign, I will definit...The second I see the for sale sign, I will definitely do a post! It appears to be a later A. Hays Town work, when he delved into more strict styles (greek revival, french country) than t the beginning of his career, when he combined many different styles to crete the signature A. Hays Town-Louisiana look. This is good because it means the home might be a little more updated than some of his work. Many people who own homes that he built in the 60's or 70's are very apprehensive to renovate, because they don't know how to go about this without destroying the things that make the home an A. Hays Town house.<br /><br />The address is so confusing to me, because Bing maps, google maps, and Zillow all say something different, but I assume Zillow would be the most accurate of the three. (but then again, Zillow says my house numbers are 870, when they are really 814.)<br /><br />I'll be in Baton Rouge in two weekends, and will have to see if I can tell anything else from the street!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703997067220370624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581446038788944427.post-22730401035177544522010-10-16T06:14:05.726-05:002010-10-16T06:14:05.726-05:00This is one of my all time favorite houses! I look...This is one of my all time favorite houses! I looked on Zillow, and the address is 6257 Highland Rd. I love that walled pool area!<br /><br />It's interesting about the front of the house versus the back. When I first posted about this house, an architect who had apprenticed to A. Hays Town and worked on this house - Jeremy Corkern - emailed me and said that this is indeed the front of the house. And yet, looking at Bing maps, there is really no path that leads to the central door from Highland - but if you look closely on the Bing maps aerial view (and look at every view on the 360" turn), you can see that there is a path that leads to Nelson to the more formal facade (or, it could be a path that leads around the house to the garage).<br /><br />Great find! I thoroughly enjoyed putting another piece in the puzzle. If you ever see a for sale sign on this house, please do a post on the interiors!!!Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581446038788944427.post-18103670790730470542010-10-10T08:46:04.892-05:002010-10-10T08:46:04.892-05:00Great detective work!!
