Twin Oaks Plantation
Added by lgfinley on 4 Mar 2009
Sidney Singleton bought Twin Oaks Plantation from Jean Louis Richard, son of Louis Richard, on May 16, 1826. Louis Richard acquired a Spanish Land Grant in the late 1700's of 670 arpents. Most Spanish Land grants were 640 arpents, but Richard was awarded an extra 30 arpents because the property was situated at the corner of the Attakapas Territory. Louis Richard built a log cabin and a log smokehouse both with dirt floors. In 1928 Sidney built a fantastic Acadian home facing Bayou Teche. The home was a one and a half story with arrow-straight 1 ft x 1 ft beams which rested on home made brick pillars 4 1/2 ft off the graound. It had an inside staircase and twin mantles fancy double chimneys. The front gallery was adorned with a main double door with slim 10 pane windows on each side. During the Civil War, a skirmish took place in the front yard and bullet holes can still be seen on the bousiage facade. During the 1800's a rear wing was added. All the beams and stud work was hand hewn. It became known as the Singleton Plantation. Singleton sold 300 arpents, but bought 270 arpents from the Steen family. The estate stretched from Bayou Teche to Bayou Fuselier, both on the St Martin side of Arnaudville. The Singleton's later married into the Steen family whereas they joined their wealth and properties. The Sigleton's began processing their own sugar and syrup in open kettles on the plantation. In 1914 thhe Singleton Syrup Mill was built and prospered until its closing in 1944. The formula was passed on to the Steens and today is Steens Cane Syrup. The property passed to relatives Edward H, Thomas Seth, and later to George Lee Singleton who sold it to Roger Brothers of New Orleans. It was sold to D Levy on March 4, 1896. On April 17, 1909 H & C Newman Lmt. of New Orleans acquired the property for $3,500. Today the Paul Coussan family owns the plantation. He acquired it on Jan 2, 1914. The property has been subdivided among family members and Mrs L D Bernard of Broussard owns the house.
