I live in Nola. I have no doubt that nefarious happenings have occurred here, but another mansion on St. Charles comes to mind. I am almost 100% certain that that is NOT the mansion that Enty mentioned. First, it has always been a single family home. It never rented guestrooms. Only family members lived there while they were growing up. At the time of the fire, there were only 3 people living there. A middle-aged couple and the wife's grandmother. The wife's brother lived a couple of houses down the street from me for years, and there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary at his house, other than large debutante parties for the daughters. Also, a good friend lives directly across the street from the burned house, and reports that the family was perfectly normal, at least for your average blue-blooded, old lineage New Orleanian. I have never heard a bad word about this family! Although I never had the pleasure of visiting their home, I know a few who have. I am positive that this is not the mansion referred to by Enty. There are approximately 6 miles of mansions on St. Charles. If I had to venture a guess on which mansion Enty meant, I would guess the hotel where "Pretty Baby" was filmed. It's a huge home that was converted to a gorgeous hotel many years ago. Just my two cents!
