Description
Tennessee Williams Home - New Orleans
Tennessee Williams’ home is located on Toulouse Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was here the young writer found himself in 1938 and, shortly after, rented a room on the second floor of this building. During his time here Williams reinvented himself, changing his name from Thomas to Tennessee. His initial stay in New Orleans was short, but he managed to write the short story “The Angel in the Alcove” while living here. This location also provided the setting for his play Vieux Carre, which premiered in 1977. There is a plaque on the front of the home, placed there on the anniversary of his 100th birthday.
