A Public Market House in 1835
In 1835, after the death of freed Negro, former slave, Charles Asmard had willed his vast acreage to his heirs, Sheriff John Brill dedicated a 15-foot vertical slice of his own property which ran north-south from the Gulf shores. The same amount of right-of-way land adjoining his property was appropriated from an heir of Charles Asmard. The combined right-of-way portions provided a north-south roadway from Bayou Portage to the Gulf in order to allow the Brill's to build a Market Place and allow farmers, sheepmen, and traders a means of accessing the Market House.
