If Brad and Angelina Split, Who Gets the House in New Orleans?

If you’re sick of the Tiger Woods story, there’s another story brewing . . . about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Somebody just wrote a book about them, suggesting they may be headed to splitsville. We certainly hope it’s not true. We’ve always liked this couple, particularly Brad’s efforts to help rebuild New Orleans, Angelina’s humanitarian work, and their combined charitable donations.

Remember that Domestic Bliss spread (top photo) they did for W magazine? Or how they tried to kill each other in the Mr. and Mrs. Smith movie? Was that art foreshadowing life?

Oh well! They won’t be the first Hollywood couple to split up. But wait a minute! Brad and Angelina don’t live in Hollywood! They live in New Orleans! Specifically, they live in this historic mansion located in the French Quarter:

The front entrance (above) is deceptively low key. But the rear courtyard below, typical of grand New Orleans homes, reveals the true charm . . .

. . . and size of this home, which includes a separate guesthouse in the back:

And the interior of this home is as charming as the exterior. These photos are a couple of years old and show what the home looked like just before Brad and Angelina purchased it in 2007.

As expected, the rooms look a little choppy and narrow. Like this master bedroom:

But we love the tall ceilings, chandelier, and fireplace above. Likewise for the dining room below. Did you notice the transom windows over the doorways?
