Description
632 Dumaine Street is home to Madame John�s Legacy. Built in 1789, this building escaped the great fire of 1795 which leveled much of New Orleans. Receiving it�s name from a character in George Washington Cable�s story �Tite Poulette�, Madame John�s Legacy is an excellent example of Louisiana Creole residential design at the end of the 18th century.
Madame John�s Legacy can be seen in the movie �Interview with the Vampire� as caskets are being carried as Brad Pitt�s voice-over describes Lestat and the little vampire Claudia going out on the town: �An infant prodigy with a lust for killing that matched his own. Together, they finished off whole families�.
