Smallest House

I saw this house advertised in some travel books as the smallest residence in New Orleans with its own postal address. I don’t know what all the fuss was about. It’s basically a child’s playhouse that sits right next to the regular house. It just has its own address for some reason. Don’t go out of your way to see this, but you may very well pass it while looking at other homes in the area.

The Doll House, as it is commonly called, is another one of those slightly strange or unusual places to like to find. We found this one in the Garden District of New Orleans. Situated among the grand and extravagant homes was this small corner lot with only a very small Tudor style doll house to match the wonderful home next door. The owner had built it on its own lot next door for his daughter to play in. It is at the intersection of St. Charles St. and Broadway. But because it was on its own lot the post office gave it its own address, 7209 Saint Charles Street. I’m sure at one time it had a much nicer look with flowers and well maintained and manicured lawn. Today it shows a lack of care.
