Edgewood

1 mi. W of Farmerville on Bernice Hwy., Farmerville, LA

Edgewood is significant in the area of architecture as one of the state's finest examples of a rural Queen Anne Revival residence. There are probably less than about 20 other Queen Anne country houses that are as elaborately articulated. Noteworthy features in this regard include the seven gables, the 26-bay curving Eastlake gallery, the unusually fluted Eastlake columns, and the highly unusual pencil-like turret with its tiny row of lancet windows.

It is said that in the late 1920's aviator Charles A. Lindbergh landed in the front yard to refuel en route to Texarkana.
