B. Pellerin’s Belvedere Club
Status: Closed
Parish: Lafayette
Location: Judice
mile down from Alex Broussard- Michael J Green (Rickels student, 1972): “On Ridge Road- down from Ferdinand Stute’s place.” T-Paul Duhon sometimes played the bones along with a Cajun band there on Saturday nights.
Helen Roy: “This dance hall was located on south fieldspan in Duson-really off Ridge Road. It was opened for a long time-as long as I can remember. (I went) there a lot. -It was owned by Beltazar (Bee) and Regina Pellerin. They would have dances every Saturday- many greats played there. I remember Belton Richard the most. There were many wedding receptions are wedding marches there, including my own. They have both died but there only child their daughter is my aunt. the building is still there and I think it should be listed as one the oldies but goodies.”

Hey friends
I’m looking to find out the building for the Belvedere Club.
I found an article in a Houma newspaper that advertised the likes of Fats Domino, Joe Barry, and Eddie Bo. I can’t tell if this Club Bel. you have listed is the right one or not. Please respond when you can. Thanks!

Club Belevedere was located in Bayou Black area in Houma, Louisiana. My great Aunt said that it was a metal building.
