John Ulisse
Città del Capo, Capo Occidentale, Sudafrica
The mansion at 1239 First Street is commonly known as The Rosegate House because of the rosette pattern of its fence. It’s widely considered to be one of the most canonic examples of how New Orleans’s past morphed in American pop culture. Built in 1857 for a “nouveau riche” family by architects, the imposing mansion is one of those neoclassical hodgepodges that borrows a bit from every architectural style. Its Greek revival colonnades, Italianate flourishes and a hexagonal window all mix with surprising elegance that matches the other luxury estates of the Gardens District.
