Built in 1841 by Conte Alphonse Dubois de Saligny, charge d’affaires for King Louis Philippe of France to the Texas Republic, this house was his residence from 1841 to 1842. It was constructed of Bastrop pine in the Louisiana Bayou style, and its furnishings include several pieces once owned by Saligny. The State of Texas purchased the house in 1945 and placed it in the custody of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, who restored it and maintain the property.
