New Orleans - French Quarter: Tennessee Williams House

Image by wallyg
Tennessee Williams owned this 19th-century townhouse, at 1014 Dumaine Street, from 1962 until his death in 1983. Here he worked on his autobiography, Memoirs, in which he wrote, "I hope to die in my sleep… in this beautiful big brass bed in my New Orleans apartment, the bed that is associated with so much love…"

The earliest established sale of the property was in 1784, from Carlos de Reggio to Juan Ventura Morales. De Reggio's title was "alferez real," and was a ranking member of the Cabildo. Morales, an "alcalde ordinario," or voting member of the Spanish Cabildo, and later an intendant, a powerful figure who represented the Royal Treasury, rescinded America's right to deposit cargo in New Orleans without paying duties, threatening the economy of the western territories and fueling Jefferson's interest in the land. Not long after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, Secretary of State James Madison deported Morales. In 1808, Julien Poydras, who served as Delegate from the Orleans Territory to the United States House of Representatives and helped start the Louisiana State Bank, acquired the parcel.

1014 Dumaine Street was dedicated as a Literary Landmark by the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library in 2006.
