Daigle House, also known as Revillon House or as La Maison Revillon, is a historic Creole cottage located at 1012 South Washington Street in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Built in Greek Revival style c.1880 by Jules Revillon, it is a five bay structure with a center entrance. It has a full front gallery featuring Doric posts with ogee molded capitals and a nearly full entablature. The front has two large dormers with pediments, pilasters and modest entablatures.[1]

The house was purchased by Sidney and Norma Daigle in 1924. It was purchased by George and Pat Bradley in 2004, and, in 2017, is used as a real estate firm's office.[2] [3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 14, 1984.
