The Division of Historic Preservation Needs Your Help!

The Louisiana State Historic Preservation Office’s counterpart in Arkansas has launched a search for circular houses like the one pictured above.  Designed by Gilbert Spindel, the Guyte D. Gunnels House in Magnolia, Ark. dates to 1959 – 1960. The Arkansas SHPO has uncovered a rumor that a similar house was built in Louisiana.

If a circular house like this one exists, (or once existed) in our state, the Louisiana SHPO would like to know about it!  If you are aware of such a house, or have knowledge about Spindel, please contact Patricia Duncan, National Register Coordinator, at pduncan@crt.la.gov or 225.219.4595.
