Marker reads: Little cottage typical of the wood frame residences of early Spanish Town. Originally, the house was one room deep with galleries, front and rear. The original lot, 160 feet wide and extending from North Street to Spanish Town Road, was purchased by Antonio Pino in 1823 from Etienne, son of Don Carlos de Grand Pre, Spanish commandant at Baton Rouge.
