The record — long form
Logan Mansion is the Queen Anne the beer baron built — Lafayette Robert Logan's 1897 house in Shreveport, designed by Nathaniel Sykes Allen, the ice manufacturer and beer distributor's monument. It's the grandest surviving Allen design — the Victorian that was a boarding house, a church, a radio station, and now the LeBruns' home and tour.
Theodora Hunt is the ghost — the eleven-year-old who legend says leaped from the attic window in 1904, the teacher's daughter from when the house took boarders. The sightings are the girl in the window, the footsteps, the objects that move; the LeBruns keep the log. LaSpirits has investigated; the mansion is on the haunted-Shreveport circuit with the Municipal Auditorium — the Queen Anne that kept its child.
The file keeps Logan Mansion: Logan's 1897 building, the Theodora Hunt legend, the LeBrun tours, and the documented activity log.
