New Orleans, LA

This New Orleans Garden District mansion was formerly known as the Davis/Seebold Residence and became the home of the Women's Guild in 1966.  The home was built in 1865 and is furnished in 18th and 19th Century European and American furniture, artwork, antiques and object d'art.

The Guild Home is available for weddings, receptions, dinners, luncheons, coffees, teas and beautiful social events.  Tours of the Guild Home are also available.  These events provide income for the continuation of the New Orleans Opera Association.

"The date of the very first staging of opera in the Crescent City cannot be firmly established and seems forever lost to music historians. But it can safely be stated that since 1796, in the final decade of the Spanish colonial era, New Orleans has had operatic performances.

"A History of Opera in New Orleans'" Jack Belsom, Archivist
