Napoleon
Bonaparte House, New
Orleans, Louisiana
Photo from an old postcard.
From the reverse of the postcard: The Napoleon Bonaparte House,
situated in the heart of New Orleans' famous Vieux Carre or French Quarter is
located at the corner of St. Louis and Chartres Streets. This building was
erected wit the idea of providing quarters of refuge for Napoleon Bonaparte
after the bold plot in which the story says the noted LaFitte band of pirates
were involved to kidnap him from exile in St. Helena and bring him to New
Orleans. The plot failed because Napoleon died before it could be
executed.
