New Orleans' Garden District Celebrities
Take a Garden District Tour with us: uniquenola.com/tours/glamorous-garden-district/
As part of our virtual tour series (which we pivoted to during COVID), we're going to go into some more New Orleans Garden District history. Focusing on something most of our tour guests want to know about: celebrity homes.
In this video we go into:
1. The Brevard-Clapp House
Now known also as the Brevard-Rice House. A house with beautiful Italian accents, that may even be haunted. It was eventually sold to Judge John Wisdom, who advanced many of the goals of the civil rights movement. The mansion is notable in recent history for being the home of novelist Anne Rice.
2. The Koch-Mays House
Built in 1878 for French Ambassador James Eustis. A Swiss Chalet right in the middle of New Orleans! It is now known as the home of actress Sandra Bullock.
3. The Joseph Merrick Jones House
Built after the Civil War, known in modern culture as the home where Trent Reznor built his New Orleans sound studio (the neighbors were not happy about that!) Things are quieter there now with actor John Goodman as its current owner.

Bubble Madness! At least one guy loved it!

Watch the guy at the end; he loved my mess! What happens when you place way too much bubble concentrate in your machine and you end up hosing down the sidewalk so passersbys don't slip!
My friends visit me every day at the new shop. They are getting a little fat and slow :)

Short history of Bourbon St. - How it became what it is today.
มุมมอง 2.2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Clip from a virtual tour done during Covid. I meant to post this a while ago, but setting up the shop slowed me down. Some people think New Orleans is Bourbon Street. It is so much more than one street. When you come here for the first time, walk from Canal Street all the way to St. Philip Street. Then explore the rest of the French Quarter and New Orleans!
Ghost Hunt at the Hotel Villa Convento, New Orleans
มุมมอง 1.2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Rumored to be the House of the Rising Sun, and the place Jimmy Buffet lost his virginity, the Hotel Villa Convento is one of New Orleans's haunted hotels. We stayed the night to test it out and we found evidence that it is as haunted as they say.

Lafayette Cemeteries and The Way We Bury Our Dead in New Orleans
มุมมอง 43K3 ปีที่แล้ว
New Orleans' cities of the dead have unique interment practices. I explain how the NOLA cemeteries work and how we can get so many people in a city block. This video is a short clip from a virtual tour of the Garden District.
Loved this so much.
Excellent presentation
This is one of the most informative videos I've ever seen! Thank you!
We just stayed there last week in room 209. I didnt experience anything creepy. My daughter woke up in the middle of the night and saw a figure at the end of our bed. She woke me up but I didnt see it.
That room, I had a hard time sleeping in. Especially after the creepy music and the shampoo container falling. Thanks for sharing your daughter's experience.
From Maine, u .s. a. Thank you , I’m going to watch it again.
Awesome! Thank you!
Good video! Very informative and very short! Love it!
Glad you liked it! I think I am talking to fast in it :D
The first time I went to New Orleans was about 30 years ago and I went to among other places Pat O'Brien's on Bourbon Street I think it was... At O'Brien's I was greeted at the door by an older black gentleman and he told me he'd been working there since he was 16 or something like that and I never forgot that story
It is amazing how long many of the service workers here have worked at their place of employment. It is common to hear 20, 30, 50... years.
very cool. thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks for watching. I am happy you enjoyed it.
Great video really enjoyed your knowledge
thank you for the awesome video!
"Above ground burials" is an oxymoron, think about it! 🪦 ⚰️
Crazy. I used to work at famous door. It was my first job on Bourbon.
Very cool!
Wow, very informative and I love your energy. Thank you!
You are so welcome
My wife and I stayed on my birthday in a 2nd floor balcony room for my 30th birthday in 2021 and we had an awesome stay! Walked around at 3 am all through the hotel and felt some weird creepy energy for sure but didn't experience anything convincing.
Thanks for sharing!
excellent video thank you for sharing
Thank you too
My fav place to stay in NO. 20 years ago I had an experience on the 3rd floor landing. As I was going up the stairs in the morning, there was a lady standing there. She was 40 something , with bouffant hair under a headscarf, big sunglasses and bright red lipstick, dressed in the manner of the mid 60’s and holding a transistor radio. I looked in the direction of the courtyard and when I looked back, she was gone. Every time I visit I sit on the steps and think about her but I’ve never seen her again.
Love this! You know your sh*t and very fun to listen to. Thanks for this watch.
I appreciate that!
Did she just say the Americans are moving in?
That was when France sold the Louisiana Territory to the new country of the United States.😢 😊
I thought there were some coffins floating after Katrina. Was that maybe in Mississippi then? You’re a great, believable !! Tour guide. I always want to know the truth, not hype. I live a few blocks from Lafayette cemetery. When are they gona reopen? I just read this morning they’re gonna dig up magnolia trees I guess because of their roots and I hate that but I understand it but I didn’t know magnolia roots were that intrusive. The ones in front of my house between the sidewalk and the street and they cracked it a bit but not a lot. I don’t know how to find the answers to these unless you come back to them and most the time I can’t remember where I ask questions but do you ever give like 101 tours of the city? I live here and there’s a lot of don’t care to find out about because I already know, but it would be nice to have a personal tour someone that you could just ask different things
Any coffins floating after the levees' failures after Katrina would be because of the coffins coming out of the tombs. Not because they came out of the ground. The city is going to reopen Lafayette Cemetery soon (In the New Orleans speed) But limit it to tours only and schedule times. Their plan for opening isn't feasible because they want to limit the tours to 7 people. The costs of running a tour won't be covered by that amount. So we will see what happens. They have been saying they were going to remove the trees for years. I see it like the way they fill our potholes. I personally don't give tours barley anymore. We have 18 wonderful tour guides that I swear know everything! We do private tours but, we have small group tours of only 15 people. Which makes them more personal and guides get to answer more questions. As a tour guide, my favorite thing is answering questions because you never know what you will end up talking about :D
Are the coping tombs reusable?
Yes, Coping Tombs are reusable. They bury on one side and then the next time on the other side. They can fill though. That is when you will see cement covering the top of them.
Why are D.O.B, D.O.D, and the person's name not inscribed, or listed on the tomb? If I remember correctly from walking through a N.O. cemetery years ago, I didn't see a whole lot of names. I could be wrong. Thanks, and a great little video. ,
Since the family owns the tombs they are responsible for what goes on the tomb. Plaques are totally the responsibility of the tomb owners. Many the marble wears away (sugaring), and marble doesn't do well in New Orleans. That's why you will see newer plaques made of granite. Sometimes there are extra names on a tomb that are not in the tomb or names left off. Because of the family did not have the money to have the name and dates inscribed. Dates are another thing. Each number would cost money too! And some did not want you to know how old they were even after they died. The big society tombs do not have any names on them because of the number of people in the tomb. Not enough space for etching the names. The Italian Society tomb in St Louis 1 has over 1k people in it at one point. Big tombs you will see a number large on the vault and they will have a record book of who went into what vault.
This is really a thorough bit of work. Thank you
Hey, I am the man the hotel wrote about in room 301 when my ex wife and I stayed in May of 2015. It is definitely haunted. The story they wrote was about 80% accurate. My ex wife had her hair pulled and we also had things moved when we woke up the next. Still missing a sandal that disappeared. I wasn't "paralyzed with fear" but the female ghost did call my name and said "hey baby" and "where you going" while I was in the bathroom.
How very interesting, thank you. I enjoyed listening to your depth of knowledge on the subject, great video.
Very interesting, thanks
I think cemeteries take up valuable space-forever. The departed should be placed in space outer space that is
Wow ! Lol !
Fascinating info, but....no one cremates?
Yes they do and often. The ashes are put directly into the caveau under the tomb.
Well, that's not surprising! The city's below sea level!
The curved side of the wall is crazy. I can't believe it's warn down from drunks rubbing against the wall. U are your daughter are fun to watch. I wish I had a relationship like this with my mom. You guys definitely deserve more views. If you guys are into ghost hunting and spirit box's you should definitely check out huff paranormal on TH-cam. I would be getting no sleep that night.
Thank you! Me and my daughter pick on each other all the time, when we can find the time to do so! We have plans to do more like this but life has gotten in the way!
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm from the UK and find this very interesting !
Thank you!
We missed our trip to NOLA this year because of the Hurricane. But, next year!!!!
Please come! And, thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I love learning about historic cemeteries and burial customs. Very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for this interesting episode. Greetings from South Africa.
Hi South Africa! Thank you for watching.
Thank you for posting this video I enjoyed it very much .
Thank you too! I am happy you enjoyed it so much.
I enjoyed your presentation. Why have I been interested in cemeteries and death, is beyond me, perhaps because deep down I know it’s part of life and inevitable.
I have always loved cemeteries. I think you are right but, I see it as history of the people in them.
@@uniquenola - Yes, that too.
Really enjoyed. Thank you.
So glad!
Very interesting thank you
Thank you for the excellent information. I went to NOLA for the first time about 11 years ago and absolutely fell in love with the city. I try to go every year on a girl’s trip with friends and we always say we are going to do the cemetery tour and always run out of time. I feel like I just got to go on a “mini tour” We are coming in April. Do you recommend the tours or is it best to just go ourselves?
Very welcome!
The cemeteries that everyone wants to see are basically closed to the public right now. Which is sad :( A couple of companies are doing St Louis Number 3 right now though.
There can cemeteries are very spooky
I do not think cemeteries are spooky and I do not think anyone haunts cemeteries in New Orleans. I wouldn't hang out in a cemetery haunting it. I would mess with people on Bourbon St.
Drifting away and going out with a bang!
Huh?
I love NOLA. Been a few times and have family on the Gulf coast. Loved walking St Louis Cemeteries. There is a special vibe in Louisiana and especially NOLA.
Totally agree!
This is amazing 👍❤️ history I guess it doesn't make a difference when your dead
Nope. Only the people you leave behind.
You burry people they float away !
Total misconception. Has been said so many times, and it isn't true. By the time a coffin would come up to the top, it would of been destroyed by the moisture. Bones would leach to the top like they do sometimes at Holt Cemetery but never a whole coffin. Mind you family tombs have been knocked over by water and coffins were released. But no body has popped out of a grave whole.
The city's below sea level!
I'm in the U.K. I've always wanted to go New Orleans.
I know the feeling! Now I live here :D
Goals
I Love Learning ! I completely enjoyed your informative video ! So Much knowledge in such a short time. Thank You So Very Much. I found this So Very Very Interesting & You are Well Versed in the subject. Thank You Again. Sincerely.
You are so welcome! And, thank you.
Thank you for that great education! I had no idea some of those "burials" worked like that!
Any time! Thank you for watching :D
Thank you. Appreciate you for this.
You are so welcome and thank you
Thank you for all the info I learn a lot.
Glad to help, thank you!
