Green plaque № 39323

Saucier-Bidwell-Pratt House. Built ca. 1855 by Pierre Saucier, whose son was later mayor of Pass Christian, the two-story Greek Revival House located here had a central temple-like portico and square-columned galleries spanning its façade, and an octagonal Gothic Revival outbuilding on its grounds.

It was later the home of renowned New Orleans theatre impresario David Bidwell. Known locally as "Union Quarters," the house was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
