Greenhouse Senior Center

The spindle work along the eaves of the front gallery, the bay window, and the asymmetrical layout qualify this house as Eastlake, a style of late-Victorian architecture. It was built close to the turn of the 20th century on Jefferson Boulevard at Magnolia Street by railroad conductor, Adam T. Boyd. In 1969, in preparation for construction of the northbound section of the Evangeline Thruway, the structure was moved a few hundred feet back, to its present location. It now serves the needs of local senior citizens of the surrounding neighborhoods. An addition to the rear of the building served to adapt the facility for its new use. Deteriorated architectural elements such as wood trim and balusters, were painstakingly recreated to match the original details. Lafayette Historic Register Number 018 Designated March 26, 1992
