Thanks to Roger Kamla for taking many of the photos on the slide show.  Registered trees not shown will be added soon.

Margaret Place will host a group fo 20-30 members of the statewide Master Gardner Association on Friday, October 26th between 12:00 and 3:00. After a box lunch from the Barnatt's (S/E corner of Wilson and Pithon) porch and lawn where the Griffith Street lawns and the Rives Rose Garden will be enjoyed, the walking schedule is as follows:

  • Wilson Ave to the Filo's patio
  • Wyman back yard (pending)
  • Grove Street to Harrison
  • Piper yard along Griffith Coulee
  • Perkins' Pointe
  • Pithon Gardens (handouts illustrating plans)
  • Wilson to Ranier Gardens
  • Return to cars on Griffith Street

The street sweeper will visit Thursday morning between 10 and 12:00. lt would be ideal if cars could be off the streets throughout Margaret Place so the street sweeper can do a thorough job.

 

Margaret Place ColumnWhen you live in a special place, it is natural to want to share it with others.  When that special place offers the charm, history, and value of Margaret Place, it deserves a website!

Here, you can learn more about The History of Margaret Place as well as answer the question, "Who is Margaret, and Why does she have a Place??"

Our jewel-box neighborhood is host to 11 Landmark homes. listed on the Calcasieu Historical Preservation Society's (CHPS) Landmark Properties Registry.  The CHPS prestigious Landmark Award is a decorative plaque that is usually attached to the front of a structure.

Practically every type of Bungalow style is represented in Margaret Place!  And, we have numerous Live Oak trees registered with the Live Oak Society.

While small in the number of residential dwellings, we are strong in spirit and volunteerism. The success of the 100th Anniversary Palm Sunday Tour of Homes serves as a testament to our character and talent. And, of course, to CHPS, our partner in that effort.

The Palm Sunday Tour and the lengthy list of accomplishments achieved would not have been possible without the involvement of our residents and the support and generosity of the members of the Margaret Place Historical District, Inc. a voluntary, membership-based organization.

There are two membership categories: 

1. Voting: owners of property within the district with dues of $100 per year.

2. Non-voting: Renters and Friends of Margaret Place, $50 per year.
