Endangered Louisiana, Ogilvie- Wiener house

Located at 728 Austin Place in Shreveport LA the Ogilvie house was constructed in 1896 and is a 7600 sqft home.  Built for a wealthy grocer and his family the house and sadly along with their original store are both listed as endangered historic properties.  The house was featured in the opening credits of True Blood.  With its many open porches and grand high Victorian style and architecture this home would make an excellent home to showcase what can be accomplished and brought back to life. Allegedly it is to be restored into a b&b but until it is removed from the most endangered list keep your eye on it.

The Store.  As you can see part of the back wall has fallen down.
