Our residence, known as the "Rimkus House" or the "Alligator House," boasts a storied heritage tracing back to the late 19th century. Remarkably, the front dormers of the house have a connection to the McParty Plantation, where General Andrew Jackson stayed during the Battle of New Orleans. Following the destruction of the plantation home, these dormers were salvaged and incorporated into our property.
Originally erected in the 1890s, the house was later relocated to its present corner lot in the early 1900s. Noteworthy is the home's former inhabitants, including a real 6-foot alligator and a peacock, both cherished pets of bygone eras. Guests are invited to delve into this intriguing history, with documentation and photographs of these remarkable animals available for exploration within the premises.
