Experience this quintessential Creole Cottage , ca 1798, built by excellent craftsman using brick-between-post construction , which is clad with original wide cypress boards and restored in 2015. This incredible property, with an impressive history that once served as the neighborhood kitchen and bakery, feeding the likes of a school and the only hospital in New Orleans in the early 1800's (located on Calle de la Hospital-now Gov. Nichols Street), even fed General Andrew Jackson in 1815, along with once being the home of Beat Generation Lit star William Burroughs, with visits from his friends fellow writers Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady. This meticulously restored property is beautifully designed with an updated kitchen, built-in floor to ceiling bookcases, primary suites on both floors, high ceilings with original transoms, baseboards, hardware, doors, extensive crown molding and ornate chandeliers.
