Join us on FRIDAY for the At Home Event!

This month’s At Home will be held at “the dollhouse,” the cottage adjacent to Cabrini Park.  Also known as the La Rionda House, this Creole cottage was built in 1810, which means that the house is celebrating its

200th birthday!

Lovingly restored by Jon Kemp and John Reed, the La Rionda house is one of the finest examples of Creole architecture in the city of New Orleans.  The main house is a typical four-square room layout, with the cabinets and loggia in the rear overlooking a large courtyard.  Beyond that is the slave quarters, which now houses two bedrooms, a library, and a kitchenette.  Behind that is a vast yard, which one housed the city’s first school for African-American children.  One of the features that makes this whole property so wonderful is the easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.

As always, we’ll be offering wine, nibbles, and great company.  Members get in for $5, non-members for $10, and anyone joining that evening gets in FREE!

And very special thanks to French Quarter Realty, who has sponsored the At Home series!
