AS mute reminder of the plot,
there stands to-day the old Napoleon
house, much sought by visitors.
The Napoleon house was one of the
finest in the Vieux Care. 1t was an
imposing mansion of three stories,
standing on line with the street, as
do all the other old houses in the
French quarter, and crowned with
belvedere that afforded fine view
of the city and river. The walls and
ceilings of the spacious apartments
were frsscoed in the empire style, the
corner medallions bearing the arms of
France OF that period. :
The same courtyard separated the
main building from the scullery and
slave quarters, and in it was pro-
fusion of tropical plants, such as
bananas. cactus, Spanish dagger and
magnolia tree, at the foot of which
so tradition said, was buried lady,
victim of husbands jealousy.
But this is not the Napoleon house
of to-day. The frescoes became dis
colored, peeled and were painted over.
The rez-de-chausse bulges with show
cases. The wrought iron ballustrades
have rusted. The plants have been
destroyed. The magnolia tree has
been cut down and no souvenirs of the
lady found; hence, that dear tradition
has been knocked in the head. The
PLASTIC ornaments and furniture have
vanished. and the Italian marble man.
