Old houses, Travel
New Orleans photo journal
I love, love New Orleans. I’ve been there four times and every time I leave I can’t wait to go come back. I’m obsessed with the architecture, the history, the ghosts, the legends, the traditions, the feeling. Our latest trip was no exception. Here are a few (or many) of my favorite moments.
We stayed at the Whann Bohn mansion, built for Captain William Whann in 1856

These are SO wonderful! You have such great photos depicting the beauty of New Orleans architecture! I am from New Orleans and I miss its uniqueness. Please share where you took some of the shots especially the indoor ones (pics 21-25 and 70 & 71). I have always wanted to see the interior of these beauties. Thank you ever so much!
Aw, thank you! I love New Orleans so much and it makes me happy that I can impress a native 🙂 The interior shots were taken at 807 Esplanade, where my husband and I stay when we visit. It’s a lovely old mansion that has been well restored and is available for weekly rentals.
