Built 1850. Italianate. The Montgomery-Cannon House. This brick duplex was built for riverboat pilot, Samuel Montgomery. The New Orleans ironwork of the veranda reflects the travels of Captain Montgomery. Prominent merchant in wholesale fancy goods and notions, Greenbury C. Cannon, purchased the house in 1869. The photo below shows the home as it appeared, likely around the turn of the 20th century.
