A Vacant 1860s Building on Canal Street Now Turns Out a Barrel of Rye a Day

A Creole apothecary named Antoine Amédée Peychaud mixed bitters at his Royal Street pharmacy in the 1830s, and the drink that came out of it eventually got its own building. The Sazerac House opened in October 2019 at the corner of Canal and Magazine, a few hundred yards from the original Sazerac Coffee House. The […]

New Orleanians value the city’s undeniable architecture, even if it may come with a creaking floor or appliances that desperately need updating. That architectural charm and character are what Elizabeth Rourke — a native of Cincinnati and an assistant professor of Clinical Urology at LSU New Orleans — was looking for when she moved to the city five years ago.

How a Coven of New Orleans Design Diehards Transformed This Haunted House Into a Hot Hotel

The Greek Revival mansion that sits at the corner of Prytania Street and Jackson Avenue in New Orleans’ Garden District wouldn’t know “dull” if it came up and rang the doorbell. The 1857 building’s first owner was a cotton merchant who died of yellow fever. Another owner was fatally struck by lightning. Fast-forward to the 21st century, when a Tina Turner impersonator bought the property and turned it into Magnolia Mansion, a B&B with suites with names like Vampire Lovers’ Lair and Moulin Rouge. A former professional boxer and local politics kingmaker took over, but things fell apart around the time of the FBI’s raid on the property.
