This is a lovingly renovated old home in New Orleans. It once belonged to an antiques dealer named James Donald “Don” Didier — a legendary collector and preservationist. Today, it's the private residence of hotelier Jayson Seidman.
I’ve always loved old architecture — the not-so-“perfect” look of something built with whatever was available at the time. I admire the can-do attitude of those who came before us, people who created things that were meant to last. I’m not sure I can say the same about some of the newly built homes today.
