Area's older homes
rich in history
When Annie
Green Goos began designing homes in Lake Charles before the
turn of the century, women's lib hadn't yet made the news, but
her talent in a traditionally masculine field left a legacy of
fine homes which can still be seen
today. Known as
"Miss Annie" throughout the community, she was the wife of
Walter Goos, son of pioneer lumberman Capt. Daniel
Goos. Calcasieu
Preservation Society records indicate Miss Annie's first
endeavor was a cottage at 618 Ford St., circa 1882, followed
by the two-story Colonial Revival next door at 624 Ford, built
about 1900, where the couple lived many
years. Another
is at 722 Moss St., built in 1910 for Miss Annie's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Green. Later another Green daughter, Rose,
and her husband, Walter G. Moeling, lived
there. In 1922,
the Goos couple built a home at 417 Shell Beach Drive, now
owned by Frank Gibson Barham. In later years, they built at
724 Moss, a home later owned by the James Hixson family. After
her husband's death, she designed and built her last home, a
small cottage at 824 Ford St.... |
