Madame John's Legacy, French colonial house museum in French Quarter, New Orleans, United States.
The historic residence at 632 Dumaine Street features wooden board exterior walls, a brick basement, and a two-story structure with an open courtyard.
Built in 1788 after a devastating fire, the building incorporates materials from an earlier 1730s structure owned by François Marin and his widow Elisabeth Réal.
The building name comes from George Washington Cable's 1874 short story Tite Poulette, reflecting the literary connections of French Quarter architecture.
The Louisiana State Museum manages this National Historic Landmark property, which currently undergoes restoration work and remains closed to visitors.
The location served as a filming site for notable movies, including Interview with the Vampire and 12 Years a Slave.
