This beautiful place could be yours! One of the few remaining downtown mansions, the Logan Mansion, an 1897-built Victorian beauty, is located across from the Ogilvie-Wiener Mansion and one block over from the famed Municipal Auditorium. The Logan Mansion also sits in the heart of the Downtown Development

District and the art and culture district known as Shreveport Common. At 4965 SF, with four bedrooms and two full and 2 half baths, it is listed at $375,000.


The home is remarkable, and offers a grand foyer, pocket doors, 12' ceilings, library, parlor, formal dining, den, walk up attic, basement and upstairs Romeo and Juliet Balcony. This home is owner occupied with many updates. The latest is a re-roof and significant work to the HVAC system.



It is located in the D-1-AC (Arts and Culture) sub-district in the city’s Unified Development Code, and as such, could be used as a restaurant, single-family residential, or for other commercial uses, such as a boutique, art gallery or bed and breakfast.

Realtor Jeri Little is handling the listing of the Logan Mansion and can be reached at 318-675-2700 (office) or 318-470-5455 (cell) for a showing or for additional information.


I'm sure you could get it down to $350,000.00

I would consider, if I lived up there....

Beautiful, but those older homes can be a money pit...electrical, water, insulation, rotted wood....definitley a handyman house.

Thanks for posting.

A shame that nice homes like this all across the country end up being in bad sections of cities and will typically fall into disarray.
Don't think this happens as often in European cities.

It may be a mansion, but it’s in Shreveport.

You would need the entire cast of The Walking Dead to fight through the army of homeless zombies that surround that area. Then you have to hire an army of armed guards to protect against the locals of that area. If there is anything left in the budget, I would then consider a moat.

That is a gorgeous home. Also definitely haunted.

Reminds me of some of the older houses for sale around Pittsburgh.

Back in the old days, if someone owned or wanted to buy a house like that but did not like the location, they would have it moved to another location. Used to happen all the time in Nola, and the houses that were moved were huge.

The area close to downtown Shreveport has many homes that are old and beautiful like this. On the northern strech of fairfield ave close to downtown has at least 20 houses like this and there's a couple near the Municipal Auditorium. All built in 1800s I believe. I would buy it in a heartbeat if my job was in Shreveport. Thankfully I have a job that I think can be phased into work from home (already 2 of 5 days are work from home) once I get 3 or so years here that I might just move back to Shreveport for the low cost of living. If you're not from here, you won't like it. If you're from here, you love it. It's very, very much a family town. Dallas or Houston, everyone is a stranger to everyone else, even amongst neighborhoods. Shreveport's just big enough and just small enough to have a great social circle for families. You def don't want to live there in your 20s. Early 30s, you want to go back. Just feel like the social connections between families are much much stronger there than other cities I've lived in. Other big cities are more isolated despite being larger.
