Thanks to American Horror Story: Coven this elaborate home with over 40 columns and three ballrooms is one of the most famous houses in New Orleans. It is located in the gorgeous oak tree lined Garden District of the city. It is officially known as The Buckner Mansion.
The home was built in 1856 by Henry Sullivan Buckner who made his fortune from cotton. It served as the Buckner home until they sold it in 1923. After that it became the Soule Business School until it closed in 1983, not quite Miss Robicheaux’s Academy. Rumor has it that the house is haunted, so a bit closer to the series.
The house was recently sold in September 2024 to a buyer from Monroe Louisiana who visits New Orleans frequently and plans to keep the home in the family for generations. It was originally put on the market for $4.5 million, then reduced to $3.5 million. The final selling price was not disclosed.
Tours of the house aren’t available but if you would like to see this gorgeous home you can find in at 1410 Jackson Ave, New Orleans, LA 70130.
