Anne Rice House, First Street Prints

The mansion at 1239 First Street was commonly known as Anne Rice’s house Rosegate. It’s called Rosengate because of the rosette pattern of its fence. The house is a spectacular neoclassical but has borrowed widely from multiple architectural styles. Its Italianate flourishes, Greek revival colonnades, and a hexagonal windows exude a pastiche of pronounced elegance that matches the other luxury estates of the Garden District. Anne created the world of Mayfair Witches in her writing and this amazing home with its huge, gnarled live Oak in front served as an inspiration and a backdrop.
