Arrivee en Nouvelle Orleans

I located

with some difficulty the Hearn House, situated on Cleveland Street near Tulane University Medical School and the Louisiana Superdome (Remember the nightmare that unfolded there during Hurricane Katrina? Remember "Heckuva job" Brownie? I was in Japan at the time, but the images, news reports, and that phrase are indelible.) Anyhow, the house is, well, really old, and with the exception of electricity and plumbing, probably not terribly different from the Hearn years, 1882-87. One of the upstairs French doors was ajar and a chair on the balcony, and I noticed 4 electricity meters on the right side of the building.
