Hearty congratulations to Theresa and Jim Barnatt of Margaret Place for the excellent and informative five-page color-image story in the January 2013 issue of OLD HOUSE JOURNAL, a premier national restoration magazine.  

The article by Deborah Burst with images by Andy Olenick focused on the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of restoring "La Maison Rouge". 

The magazine coverage was a happy result of the successful 2012 Palm Sunday Tour of Homes project of the Margaret Place Historical District Association, CHPS, and the Lake Charles-Southwest Louisiana Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB).  

According to Tour Chair, M K Hopkins,  the CVB was instrumental in assisting the Joint  Committee in the promotion of  Lake Charles's jewel-box historic district.

 The January issue is out now and available at newsstands, some bookstores, at the parish libraries, and by subscription.
