History
George P. Long was born in Mississippi in 1849 and moved with his family to Winn Parish around 1859. By the 1880s he had established a general store in Winnfield; after several years he sold the business and turned to land and real-estate dealings, selling farms and handling much of the property within the town limits. According to the parish tax rolls for 1900, Long held about 2,300 acres and at one time owned or controlled 48 dwellings in Winnfield.Long was also active in banking. He was a major stockholder in the Bank of Winnfield and Trust Company, served on its original board of directors, and was president of the institution from 1902 to 1907. He later assisted in organizing the Continental Bank and Trust Company in Shreveport. Long built the Maple Street residence about 1905 and lived there for the remainder of his life.
