Restoration architect Cizek preserved the 20 room triple house as it appeared during the Greek Revival period, preserving, however, what remained of the older part of the complex in his 1976 restoration".

"Architecture professor and art teacher/tour guide Lloyd Sensat are devoted to historic preservation through art.They teach classes, organize seminars, travel and do a multitude of other good works. In their private life,though,they have restored an early 1800's Creole cottage in Faubourg Marigny. The four fountains and lush plantings make this seem a hidden world.Cizek and Sensat have used antiques and historical mementoes throughout their home to great effect. Visiting Sun Oak is like a museum with the benefit of hosts who are two of the best known preservationists in Louisiana"
