Visited this city last Christmas 2008. Was absolutely in awe of this property. Such mystery. Often wondered about the history and if it would be permitted to topple down as many historic sites there do. So glad to see that it's being saved, and to find information on it. What a lucky woman you are to have been able to reside in such a special place. Green with envy from where I sit! Happened upon your site by accident. Visited this city last Christmas 2008.

The company I work for will be taking over the project due to the previous contractors not moving fast enough. I would really like some more info on your experiences in the house.

It's such a magical place. Don't cry, dearie! One day, I'll live there again and you can too, okay? Dear Taylor,

I recently had to move from New Orleans where I would sit on the neutral ground in front of this house all the time, eating my lunch, and stare at this house, I need it! Am I going to cry over this? Probably! Thank you, thank you!! You lived in my dream house!

This is Desier, the mom of Aurelia who lived in the top floor apt before storming out. I too miss this place and have fond memories of the building filled with creative friends. I gave birth to Aurelia in the 2nd floor slave qtr. apt in 1993. Must say though that I never felt any ghosts in this building. My family is from the quarter and this is one of the few buildings that felt clean. The hidden stairwell in the slave qtr. apts is another story. Hope everyone is well this winter and keeping warm.

So good of you to speak for her. Your blond soldier ghost sighting was every bit as fascinating as I'd hoped! Thanks for not making me wait to hear about it! 807 Esplanade reminds me of a beautiful old decrepit woman with stories to tell. So good of you to speak for her.

I totaly agree on verhext comments!! This house deserve to have people living in it. Not to be used as a working place. It should have people loving it and making it a home again. We do not have houses like that in Sweden, I live in a very practical country, since we where untouched after WWII, we had strong economy and people disliked old things that could remind them on our poor past. So, old thing and buildings was ruined and replaced with new "modern" ugly things. But nevertheless I try to track old things down, and collect as much as I can. Late at night they whisper to eachother, the dolls in the cabinette, the wax mannequin and all the furniture....very soft, I can not hear what they say, but it feels homy and comforting.
