Edwin Epps House is a Creole cottage built in 1852 (173 years ago) () in part by Solomon Northup [1] on Bayou Boeuf near Holmesville in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. [2] It was built for Edwin Epps, a slaveholder. [1] The house was a "double-sided, wood frame house with one chimney, and a tin roof" of mid-sized farmers. [3]
