Inside The St. Francisville Inn: An 1880 Victorian Turned Boutique Hotel for a Quiet Getaway

Some weekends call for a porch, a pool and nowhere to be. North of Baton Rouge, The St. Francisville Inn was built for exactly that. The story starts in 1880, when Bayou Sarah entrepreneur Morris Wolf built an elegant Victorian home for his wife and children. The Wolfs stayed until 1903. Decades later the house was carved into apartments, then sat empty long enough to lose its mantles, light fixtures and most of its doors.

Blake Pontchartrain: Kenner High School birthed several Jefferson Parish politicians

I came across a yearbook for the old Kenner High School. Where was it? Did it change names or is it no longer standing?. The former school was located at the edge of what is now Kenner’s Rivertown district, at 1610 Rev. Richard Wilson Drive, formerly Third Street. It opened as a school for kindergarten through 12th grades but was best known as Kenner High School. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
