Roselawn. Queen Anne home from 1903, built by J. H. Williams, Sr., is on this year’s tour. Many long time residents of Natchitoches have not seen this three-story beauty considered by architects to be the purest example of Queen Anne architecture in Louisiana. The home has 25 rooms and is painted in the original nine colors. Some refer to it as “The Painted Lady”. Do not miss it.
