Want to enjoy cocktails in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s former French Quarter home? Are you a fan of Fats Domino? Then you absolutely can’t miss the PRC’s 49th Annual Holiday Home Tour Patron Party!
The party will be held at 521 Gov. Nicholls St., a French Quarter property with an incredible history. The Creole-style townhouse, built between 1827 and 1830 for Claude Le Baron, has an illustrious string of previous owners, including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, followed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. But New Orleans music lovers will know the property as the home of Cosimo Matassa’s recording studio, where in the 1950s and 1960s “the sound of New Orleans R&B came alive as it spread throughout the world,” according to Jazz history site “A Closer Walk.” Fats Domino “recorded hit after hit” at the studio, as did Little Richard and many other R&B stars.
The Patron Party gives you a chance to enjoy cocktails, food and music as we toast the season in this historic home.
