The Cunningham Law Office, now the Natchitoches Historic Foundation headquarters, was built in 1860 by Henry Safford. The building was constructed of 36 foot virgin pine sills held in place by wooden pegs as sound as the day they were fitted together by hand. The building originally sold for the fascinating sum of $1,883.44 5/12. The Natchitoches Historic Foundation purchased the property from Cunningham heirs and restoration was completed in October of 1994. The building is on The National Register of Historic Places.
