Margaret Place residents and friends of Theresa and James Barnatt know that they enjoy the tranquility of their porch as much as those who came before them!
Visitors will have a rare opportunity to take in the history and ambiance of the home built and occupied by former Lake Charles Mayor Leon Locke and his family.
The Barnatt's have quite a story of what they consider a work-in-progress. Fortunately, they are willing to share their approach to renovating this historic property.
