English: "Rosegate"

The Brevard-Wisdom-Rice House


A friend of mine likes to tell a story about taking an out-of-town guest to see the various celebrity homes in New Orleans. They wound up in front of actress Sandra Bullock's house. While they were snapping a picture, a couple happened along, also, with camera in hand. My friend said something to the effect, "I guess everybody knows where Sandra Bullock lives." With a surprised look, the man said, "Sandra Bullock lives here?" My friend couldn't resist asking, "If you didn't know Sandra Bullock lived here, why were you taking pictures?" They stared at her for a minute, as if anyone over the age of two would know the answer, before the woman finally replied, "Because of its architecture and history, of course." My friend's guest smiled and shook her head, "Only in New Orleans would architecture and history be as popular as movie stars."

New Orleans is fortunate to have many fine old homes, homes with stories that are even more interesting than those of the celebrities that happen to be in residence today. So, while you're snapping a photo of Brad Pitt's or Nicolas Cage's or John Goodman's house, you might have someone standing next to you who's snapping a picture because of the home's unique history or architecture.


The house on this page is a good example. Owned for several years by Anne Rice, native New Orleanian and one of the most widely read authors in modern history, the house has been home to several noteworthy and interesting people since it was constructed in 1857.
