Located
on Bayou Lafourche in Napoleonville Parish, Christ Episcopal Church
was built in 1853 for the sum of $10,000. The Greek Revival structure
served the English speaking protestants in a predominantly Roman Catholic
community. Christ Church was constructed by George Arment, a local carpenter
who is buried in the church cemetery. Dr. E. E. Kittredge donated the
land for the church and cemetery. The building is constructed of Louisiana
cypress and brick, made on Woodlawn Plantation by Colonel W. W. Pugh,
who also supplied the labor for the construction. Slate for the roof
and stained glass used in the windows were among the only materials
imported from the East. For more information, see the National
Register travel itinerary. |
