Description

Derelict brick school building, Iberville Parish, Louisiana.


On February 29, 2008, Baret and I took a graving trip out to Iberville Parish, so that I could - as Iberville Parish Keeper - record the cemeteries in and around Plaquemine and White Castle for Find A Grave.

Just outside of White Castle, along the River Road just inside the Ascension Parish line, we saw this old, abandoned brick abode. We found a way to get to it, and snapped some photos.

On the facade's front brick column were two white marble panels detailing the building's history.

The first read: Elise Reuss Memorial School

Erected 1907 To the loving memory of our daughter Elise Bertha Christine Reuss

Born June 9th 1890 Died November 19th 1894

The second panel read: Architects Mackenzie Goldstein and Biggs New Orleans, LA

Builders Lydien Colet S.P. Braud

It was a strange, haunting trip and we left as rain clouds were approaching. My sunglasses went missing while we were here and I was unable to find them before leaving.
