"One of the distinctive yet unobtrusive buildings of the French Quarter is the old home of the Widow Roche. It has small but characteristic court at the end of the arched corridor. Many families of note have occupied the apartments above the ground floor stores, and here lived, not so many years ago, Mollie Moore Davis, a New Orleans writer whose stories of the folk of the Old Square has caused her memory to be revered. Here, too, it was that a host of friends and admirers paid her their last respects."
