Jacob Bogard House

History
1
This lot at 225 W. Carriere was first purchased by Jacob Bogard from Francois Corso in 1837. The property has ties to several historically notable people, including Jacques Andre dit LaFleur, also known as Tapske, Governor Bienville's Choctaw and Creek interpreter, whose son acquired the original land grant, John March, a wealthy New Orleans merchant, and Captain Webb from the Quirk family of steamboat fame. The property is now owned by a descendant of the original LaFleur family.
