The Carter House, in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana near Hammond, Louisiana, was built around 1925. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]

Its National Register nomination describes it as a "two-story frame house built 'along bungalow lines.' It is located in a rural setting near Hammond. The house has been altered very little since its construction, and consequently it still conveys the full measure of its historical associations." [2]

It was deemed "significant in the area of education because of its close association with Will Carter, one of the founders of Southeastern College (presently the University of Southeastern Louisiana) . Will Carter built the house c.1925 and lived there until his death in 1953." It was also deemed "significant in the areas of communications and politics/government because Will Carter's Pulitzer Prize winning son, Hodding Carter, lived there in 1932 when he founded the Hammond Daily Courier, which proved to be a relentless local foe of Huey Long." [2]

It is located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Hammond on Happywoods Rd. [2]
