Built in 1830, by the founding family of Franklin, Arlington today is a significant architectural example of an ornate antebellum 5986 sq ft home in Louisiana for several reasons: it has four entrances with Corinthian columns front and back and side loggias, wide cross halls, and an amazing collection of original medallions. It has new bathrooms and kitchen and is in fine condition; also 7 acres, a one-bedroom guest house, a three-car connected garage, formal gardens, and a dock on navigable Bayou Teche.
