Background
editThe house is a one-and-a-half-story Queen Anne frame cottage with decorative Eastlake details inside and out.[2]
The Stone Avenue house is named for Roland M. Filhiol, who had it built in 1895. He was the great-grandson Don Juan Filhiol, one of the founders of Monroe, Louisiana. Don Juan was the commander chosen to oversee the building of a Spanish post, Fort Miro, in the remote Ouachita District in 1791.[3]
Roland Filhiol was a businessman and agriculturalist. He owned several plantations and lived in the home until 1906, three years before his death.The Edward M. Strong family bought the cottage from Filhiol and owned the Monroe home until 1948. The LaFrance family purchased the home and modified its attic to accommodate the numerous members of their family.[4]
Gretchen LaFrance Hamel was the last of the LaFrance family to own the home. She sold the house to Larry Lockwood in February 2007.[5] The Ouachita Parish Sheriffs Office took control of the deed in April 2023, with the house selling to John May on July 20, 2023.[6]
