Built c. 1867, by Fernando Upton Gautier and his wife, Theresa Fayard Gautier. The Gautiers moved to this area from Biloxi and established the F. Gautier and Sons Sawmill in 1866. The house is built from native pine cut at the sawmill, which closed in 1906. The community adopted the name Gautier about 1910.

Marker is on Oak Street 0.1 miles north of De La Pointe Drive, on the right when traveling north.
