Melrose Mansion, Esplanade Ave, New Orleans, LA. This Victorian Gothic style  mansion was designed by noted architect James Freret in 1884 and built for the Lanaux Family. It was once owned by notorious New Orleans club owner Sol Owens who used the building to house the girls in his conga line.

Esplanade Avenue was an important 19th century portage route of trade between the Bayou which linked to Lake Pontchartrain and the River. Many 19th century mansions still line the street; it functioned as a "millionaire's row" for the Louisiana Creole section of the city similar to that of St. Charles Avenue for the Anglophone section in Uptown New Orleans.
