Antoine Andermann

Sketch of 1st (1849) St. Mary's built by Antoine Andermann

Sketch by Henry Chauvin - recalling it from a sketch made of St. Mary's by John L. Peytavin in a pamphlet called, "Reserve Eucharistic Day Souvenir Booklet" that we're unable to locate

Once mistakenly thought to have been built in 1831 in the book by Roger Baudier, and mistakenly thought to be located on the Whitehall Plantation, this 1858 'Persac Map' accurately depicts the true location of the 1st (1849 - Andermann) St. Mary's Chapel on the upriver corner of the Ancient Domain Plantation once owned by the Peytavins & previously by Aristide Landry & slightly downriver from what used to be called the Narcisse Landry Jr.'s "Tippecanoe Plantation".
