EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926, offers a glimpse into the intriguing history of New Orleans' infamous 'Haunted House' or Lalaurie House, located on Royal Street. The image invites us to step back in time and explore the architectural wonders and intriguing tales of this unique American city. The multi-story townhouses lining the street are adorned with ornate balconies, their railings adorned with intricate ironwork, a hallmark of Creole architecture. The buildings' facades, with their columns and pillars, exude an air of grandeur and elegance, a testament to the city's rich heritage. At the end of the street, the Lalaurie House stands out, its ominous presence hinted at by the dark shadows cast by its tall, looming silhouette. The house, with its intricate detailing and ornate balconies, is a sight to behold, yet it is also notorious for its dark past. The building was the site of a gruesome incident in 1834, where it was reported that Madame Lalaurie, the owner, tortured and murdered her slaves. The tales of her cruelty and the strange occurrences reported at the house have made it a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of the city's haunted past. Genthe's photograph captures the essence of New Orleans, its unique architecture, and the intriguing stories that make the city a must-visit destination. The image is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress' collection, preserving a piece of American history for future generations to explore and appreciate.
