BYARD EDWARDS HOME

Old Southern charm reflects from the spacious home of the Byard Edwards on 4th 
Street (in Ponchatoula).  The colonial type structure with its large white columns 
and dormer windows are added features to the all cypress framework house.

In the front reception area are Victorian love seats, chairs and oriental floor 
coverings.  Of added note is the empire petticoat table.

Sheraton furnishings including a bed, and early empire chest and Sheraton side 
board are among the family heirlooms and prized possessions.  The formal living 
room and dining room are enhanced with oriental rugs.  Leading from these rooms 
is a less formal sun porch.  Steps lead to the large bricked patio and swimming 
pool. The Edwards home is oriented to gracious living and hospitality.

The more formal living room and dining room leads to a less formal sun porch 
where the family spends many hours.  Steps lead from it to a flourishing large 
side garden, bricked patio and further out a swimming pool.  This area graciously 
served as the setting for the home wedding of both Edwards daughters.
