Originally the site of St Elizabeth’s boarding school, this massive 55,000 square foot building is the former residence of Anne and Stan Rice in the decadent city of New Orleans. Built in 1865, the 3-story structure is comprised of 3 buildings and was purchased by the Rice family in 1993.

The main residence is 5,000 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. 

Now a luxury condo, the stunning Second Empire-style building boasts incredibly detailed stained glass windows as well as stone angels (added by Anne herself), and a swimming pool.

It also acted as the backdrop for some parts of Anne’s Mayfair Witches book series. Looking at these photos, you can definitely see why she would choose this place as a location for her book!
