According to the Museum's own web page, the name derives from the three wives (one assumes serial monogamy and nominal monotony) of the property's original owner, Alexander Brun. His wives were all named Louise, of course. Surely he had heard of Louisiana across the sea but other than that, the Old South likely had little or nothing to do with it, being largely irrelevant to an estate in Denmark. rg61Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711502821148075083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355717446968368001.post-83933167743997926392013-01-10T05:23:55.285-05:002013-01-10T05:23:55.285-05:00Dear Jim Lane / USA.

I have to wonder if maybe the builder might not have been an American from the deep South. I suppose that's not out of the realm of possibility, though it seems a little odd in a place like Denmark, which, so far as I know, has no association with that part of this country.Jim Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882369817190401530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355717446968368001.post-81952884985552900542012-11-09T00:27:36.809-05:002012-11-09T00:27:36.809-05:00Nice switcheroo -- the front view looks very plaus...Nice switcheroo -- the front view looks very plausibly Louisianian of the Baton Rouge variety.Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.com
