IN EARLY ERA

HOME LINKS HISTORICAL INTEREST

A large two-story wooden frame home, located at 108 East Charles Street, was formerly 
the pioneer home of Mr. And Mrs. Alfred Jackson and was built on the corner of 
Cypress and Charles streets in the era around 1895 or before.  Mr. Jackson was 
proprietor of a jewelry store on East Thomas Street beginning in 1895.  The home is now 
occupied by the Bignar family.

Recalled is the former pretentiousness of the house when it was constructed, and the 
voluminous library in the home containing numerous leather bound books.  Mrs. Jackson 
was a semi-invalid using a wheel chair in her later years.  The Jacksons, originally from 
England, were the parents of two sons, Cedric, and Jimmy (James) Jackson.

Cedric was married to the former Miss Elsa Streeck, who was the daughter of the late Mr. 
And Mrs. Charles Streeck, and sister of Miss Ray Streeck of Hammond.  She now resides 
in New Orleans with her son, Cedric.  Her daughter, Gertrude is deceased.
