THE HISTORY

The Roque House, relocated in 1967 to downtown Natchitoches from its original location in the Isle Brevelle community down Cane River Lake, was built in 1803 by Yves Pacale, a freed man of color.

THE PROJECT

The Natchitoches Historic Foundation and the Cane River Waterway Commission partnered to preserve and renovate one of the state’s most iconic buildings on the downtown banks of Cane River Lake.
