History
The Armand Broussard House was originally built at Fausse Point in what was then the Province of Louisiana in New Spain. The Broussard family owned it until 1979 when Dr. Roy Boucvalt purchased it and relocated it to New Iberia to prevent demolition. The next year it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Iberia Parish. In 1988, Dr. Boucvalt donated the historic structure to Vermilionville Historic Village.[2] The house was then relocated a second time to the museum site in the City of Lafayette within Lafayette Parish.
Architecture
The house was built in a
colombage and bousillage
