The Johnson House, in Mandeville in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, was substantially built c.1915, redeveloping from a c.1890 predecessor.[2] It is located three blocks from Lake Pontchartrain.[2] It has been marketed as an event venue, Maison Lafitte, with phrase "circa 1880".[3]

It is a "mansion" on a "lush" 1.3 acres (0.53 ha) property.[2]

It was purchased in about 1915 by Thomas Johnson and his wife Mary Celeste, who maintained homes in New Orleans and Mandeville, and who developed it in Mediterranean Revival and/or Craftsman style. It was home to Johnson descendants until 2001.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
