EDIT:I changed the title of the thread. The original title of thread: TheCaterpillar if you're here, may I ask you some questions about the Cottage Plantation

Hi everyone, I was trying to find more information/pictures on the former Cottage Planation of Baton Rouge (as opposed to the one in St. Francisville). Specifically does anyone have pictures or floor plans of the interior? I was trying to find some online but couldn't find anything. I was the the movie "Band of Angels" that featured the exterior of the building but couldn't tell if the interior shot were of the plantation or a set?

Additionally I was thinking of nominating the site for a historic marker. I don't know what dream world I was living in but I didn't know it has to be paid for/sponsored by the people nominating the site. I'm not necessarily opposed to that but I have no idea how to run a fundraising campaign or even where to begin, so if anyone has any ideas that'd be most appreciated.


Original thread post: I know this is a clumsy way of communicating but I saw that the user: TheCaterpillar had unique information on the Cottage/Conrad/Hackberry Hall plantation formerly located in EBR. I would have sent a personal message but couldn't figure out how. If you'd care to, I'd love to discuss what you know in this thread or you can email me.

I'm not a professional historian or anything, I just really like learning about Baton Rouge history. I was doing Google research on the former plantation and found the thread https://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/o-t-lounge/history-buffs-what-is-was-name-of-that-burned-down-plantation-on-river-road/68662895/page-2/ which is how I thought to initiate contact. A little strange I know but it never hurts to try right, lol!

I’m friends with TheCaterpillar. Give me nudes of your wife and I’ll connect you with him.

If you really want to get in touch with him, you have my terms. Long time friend, but I want my pictures before I alert him to your plight.

I know I don't have many posts but I'm not a bot if that's what you're alluding to. I actually post a lot here: Baton Rouge Urban Planet. I invite everyone to join if you like BR development news (although it is show right now).

OP i can help you and vouch that OMLandshark and TheCaterpillar have, in fact, mentioned for years that they are legitimately friends. as for his deal, well, seems like an obvious yes to me.

That's exactly what a bot would be programmed to say

I actually just texted TheCaterpillar. His response:
