Meet the low-key real estate mogul who built Livingston Parish
May 5, 2010 By
H. Allen Thomason Sr. estimates he built 80% of the subdivisions in Livingston Parish, and his sons and nephews are gaining dominance in Ascension Parish. Unlike most developers, however, Thomason flies below radar. He keeps a low profile, dresses humbly, lives in the same Watson house he purchased for $75,000 and never darkens the doorsteps of the City Club or the Baton Rouge Area Chamber.
