Rebuilt by Alcad Dugat (1847-1921), an Acadian farmer, sheep-raiser, and furniture-maker. The house, of traditional Acadian plantation architecture with Victorian detail, was erected in two stages. The smaller wing was built in 1876, and the main house completed in 1888. The Dugat home served as inn for travelers on the Old Beaumont-Galveston Road. The property was purchased in 1924 by Josephine Hamshire, whose heirs owned the house until 1959.
