Austen Place

Austen Place, situated in Shreveport, Louisiana, boasts a rich history rooted in the life of William Burwell Ogilvie, a successful entrepreneur who constructed the mansion in the late 19th century. Since its inception, the building has changed hands several times, notably becoming a renowned supper club, The Florentine, attracting famous entertainers and guests throughout the mid-20th century.

The property transitioned from the Weiner family to the J.V. Sclifo family and underwent various transformations until it was eventually purchased by John and Debbie Bryant in 2011. Today, Austen Place stands as a testament to an era of architectural elegance and vibrant social history.
