The historic house has been moved twice . After the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 it was moved a further back from the levee , inside the same property in St. James Parish . In 1977 a second move , due to a purchase of the land by Missouri-Portland Cement Company , brought the house to its present location in Iberville Parish . The house was moved in one piece on a barge up Mississippi River course , about north of its original location
