About Us and the House
We moved to Natchitoches in 2005 from Hawaii where we lived 28 years to enjoy the
colorful life of Louisiana. Del Forsloff is a seasoned painter who owned galleries in
Lafayette and New Orleans and worked as a caricaturist and portrait painter in Hawaii and
Nevada. Carol has had three careers, as teacher, counselor and writer. Del's vintage jazz
art paintings in French Quarter, New Orleans style can be seen in the gallery. Carol
Forsloff has original books and manuscripts for sale, the most recent, Sarah Palin, the
Issues Through Her Prism as an e-book and hard cover.
The house is more than 100 years old and perhaps as much as 150 years old and is
located in the heart of what used to be the original town center of Natchitoches. It was
built on land once owned by Felix Trudeau, the first commander of the Fort at Natchitoches
at the turn of the 19th century. Its architecture combines the different types seen in the
region, including Victorian, Cajun and Creole characteristics in some of the facade.
