Anne Rice Orphanage House 1314 Napoleon (Prints)

The main building, originally designed by architect Daniel Mulligan, was built as St. Joseph’s Institute in 1865-66. It is an excellent example of the Second Empire style, which includes features like a concave mansard roof, arched windows, and a plantation-style front porch. By 1872, the building became St. Elizabeth’s Asylum, housing numerous orphans due to the outbreaks of diseases like yellow fever and cholera.

Anne Rice purchased the orphanage in 1993 and transformed it into a sprawling 55,000-square-foot residence. Reflecting her Gothic sensibilities, Rice used part of the home to house her extensive doll collection and often incorporated the building into her novels. It became known as "The Chapel."
