The firm was founded in 1891 by Charles Favrot (1866-1939) and Louis A. Livaudais (1870-1932).[1][2] Charles Favrot was the son-in-law to architect, James Freret.[2] Louis Livaudais had worked with Freret sometime before the two decided to join together to start their own architectural practice.[2]

The firm closed in 1933[2] after Livaudais died. Favrot continued with firms including Favrot & Reed, and Favrot, Reed, and Fred, and Favrot, Reed, Mathes & Bergman.
