A. Hays Town was born June 17, 1903 in Crowley, Louisiana. He was the second son of Joshua Hays and Mary Laboye Town. When Town was in the third grade, his family moved to Lafayette, Louisiana, where his father owned and operated a general merchandise store. From an early age, Town was encouraged by his father to draw buildings as a form of self-expression. At the age of fourteen, Town designed his first piece of architecture - a remodeling plan for the family home.
