With the death of Anne Rice in December at the age of 80, New Orleans lost one of its most unique characters. The author of the 1976 smash hit Interview With a Vampire and its thirteen sequels among her forty novels sold more than 150 million books during her prolific career, forever changing the image of the vampire in literature and inspiring countless other writers.
Saint Charles Avenue Mansion A New Orleans native, Anne championed the city?s Southern Gothic aesthetic and owned many lavish NOLA homes, including an 1880?s Saint Charles Avenue Mansion that is said to be haunted. Her legions of fans flocked to the Garden District and French Quarter, eager to retrace the steps of her characters and take in the city?s spooky ambiance.
In 1993, Rice purchased a three-story, red-brick, 19th-century building known as St. Elizabeth’s, which had formerly been an orphanage and a Catholic girl?s school. Anne turned it into the largest home in New Orleans, taking up an entire city block.
She hosted charity fundraisers and gave public tours, using the money to restore the 47,000-square-foot building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places....
