Houses with a file in Louisiana

Louisiana files 16 houses and estates — private addresses with public reputations. These dossiers run on long tenures and thin witness lists: one family carrying a report across decades, or a procession of owners discovering the same account independently. Most are not open to anyone; the record exists even where the door does not.
