Photo 1 - The Pitot House front facade as seen from the parterre garden.
Photo 2 - Ground floor dining space complete with punkah over a mahogany gate-leg table.
Photo 3 - Upstairs parlor: the mantelpiece gives this room away as the parlor or salon, with its elaborate Spanish styling on the lower mantel and Creole federal characteristics on the overmantel.
Photo 4 - The red cabinet is furnished with a classical rope bed and mosquito netting appropriate for a low post bed.

Photo 5 - The bed in the summer bedroom is appropriately curtained with mosquito netting since the doors and windows would have been opened for air circulation.
Photo 6 - The galleries were important living spaces in the days when air conditioning was not an option!
Photo 7 - An original and restored portrait of Sophie Gabrielle Pitot, a daughter of James Pitot, hangs in the blue bedroom over the mantel.
Photo 8 - The Pitot House lawn and gardens create a romantic and beautiful setting for special events like weddings, parties, and fundraisers.
