Café Vermilionville also known as Vermilionville Inn was built in 1835. It is a two-story, brick-between-posts, French Creole building located near the northwest bank of the Vermilion River at Pinhook Bridge. Although it was originally in a more rural setting, it is now at the central core of an expanding city. Despite several minor changes and additions, the building retains its historic integrity.
It was built at the site where traders gathered, having traveled by boat to the Vermilion Bayou landing, an ancient trading post, near Pinhook Bridge. During the pre-European settlement era, the trading post was called Le Petit Manchac. Traders were mostly indigenous people, ranchers, trappers and smugglers. Smugglers used minor Gulf of Mexico waterways to avoid paying tariffs imposed by French and Spanish law or to circumvent English law. Native American and European traders and trappers used the landing at Petit Manchac to switch from water to land transportation. The Vermilion was not navigable any further inland from that point. Given the fact that waterways were the chief means of transportation, the Pinhook Bridge was the landing for the Vermilion Bayou Atakapa Settlement. Several businesses developed early at that location, and local hired hands with travois and wagons waited there to transport goods to surrounding ranches, plantations and farms. The inn became a center for commercial and social interaction for the area.
After the building was restored in 1954 by Horace B. Rickey, Sr., it was home to several businesses. Today, the building is well known and cherished as Cafe Vermilionville, an award-winning culinary establishment.
