Circa 1816. This home belonged to Judge Francois Xavier-Martin, the author of the first history of Louisiana and Louisiana's first State Supreme Court Chief Justice. Andrew Jackson stayed here and another guest, Harriet Beecher Stowe, wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin after viewing the nearby slave markets. The Civil War followed the widely read publication. Surrounding the inn is a 165-year-old wrought-iron cornstalk fence. Stained-glass windows, Oriental rugs, fireplaces and antiques grace the property. Breakfast and the morning newspaper can be served in your room or set up on the balcony, porch or patio.
