        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.

        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....
