Historic Ruston Estate Sale
2158 Llangeler Dr.
Ruston, LA 71270
Welcome to the breathtaking Toma Lodge estate in Ruston, a timeless expression of Southern sophistication thoughtfully crafted by Jerry and Margie Drewett. Together, they collaborated with talented architects, craftsmen, and decorators to create a warm, inviting home designed for gracious entertaining. Following Margie’s passing, Jerry has lovingly maintained the estate for the past ten years.
Built on the historic site of the original Chautauqua Hotel, the home sits on land that once hosted the Louisiana Chautauqua. This influential cultural movement became the forerunner of Louisiana Tech University. The property’s rich past is beautifully honored throughout, including the discovery and careful restoration of the original Chautauqua well. As a tribute to this legacy, a stunning mural depicting the Chautauqua’s early years spans the entire foyer wall, painted by Glenn Kennedy, BFA, Louisiana Tech.
Traditional furnishings, classic décor, and garden furniture complement the blend of architectural styles, and classically landscaped gardens will be offered for sale.
