Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

No change: main building -- blue; rear addition to main building and rear shed -- brown. Plantation type dwelling, which may be one of the Quarter's earliest buildings, was constructed (or reconstructed from an earlier building on Bayou St. John according to an extant contract) perhaps as early as 1787 for Gabriel Peyroux, who moved into town from Bayou St. John. Owned from 1795-1878 by Josquin Ossorno, Captain of the regiment stationed in the Plaza, and his heirs, the structure was remodeled in the 1830s, most significant of which is the alteration of the original steep pitched, hipped roof. Additionally the rear gallery area has been enclosed. [N.B: At the time the VCS chains of title were abstracted, these structures sat on four separate lots: 1211-1215 Dauphine (Lot 23043), 901 Governor Nicholls (Lot 23042), 905 Governor Nicholls (Lot 23061), 909-917 Governor Nicholls (Lot 23060). They are now listed under the separate addresses 1200, 1205, 1215 Dauphine and 905, 913 Governor Nicholls.]
