Friday's Photo: Is this a family in Bienville Parish?

This unlabeled photo was found in the collection of Marguerite Cook Clark. Most, but not all, of her photos were taken in and around Bienville Parish, Louisiana. Does this house look familiar? 

These markings are seen at the bottom of the photo. Often these identify the photographer and/or location. 

The family's clothing shows styles that are indicative of those of the late 1880s and in the 1890s.  Photos of family members have been enlarged and can be seen below.
