On an October Saturday, dozens of people were treated with a tour of the Ball home, the stately mansion that anchors Lafayette’s Historic Ninth Street Hill. The following piece, from Lafayette author Angie Klink, and photos from Brooke Sauter, were originally produced for the General de Lafayette Daughters of the American Revolution Chapter. They offer a peek inside a Lafayette landmark. Enjoy.
