Mossville, LA - 2/6/2016 - Edward Julia LeMelle Gordwin (79) sits in the living room of her small family home in Mossville. Gordwin moved into the house in 1942, and has lived her entire life in Mossville. She raised her children in the house, but has taken the SASOL corporation's offer for a voluntary buyout and will leave the house in the sprint to re-settle elsewhere in Louisiana. Nearly all the residents of Mossville -- founded by an ex-slave in 1790 and one of the first settlements of free blacks in the South -- have moved away after accepting buyouts from Sasol. Once a homeowner leaves, their property is quickly cleared to make way for the ongoing expansion.
MINIMUM PRICE $100
