New Orleans homes are internationally known for a rich melding of French, Spanish, and Caribbean architectural styles while continuously evolving to the often-tropical climate. The women who have resided in these homes, including three-time Grammy winner and civil rights activist Mahalia Jackson and novelist Anne Rice, are similarly world-renowned, multi-cultural, and adaptive, as demonstrated by their lives and spaces.
