Huey P. Long House on Forest Ave. in Shreveport, Louisiana was built in 1926. It was listed on the NRHP in 1991.
It is a two-story Spanish Colonial Revival-style house made with stucco over hollow tile. It is significant for its association with politician Huey P. Long, who with his family moved into the house in 1926. He moved to Baton Rouge in 1928 when he became governor of the state, but the house remained in the family until the 1970s. It is the only house which Long had constructed for himself and in which he took much personal interest.
