In his short story “Hidden Gardens,” Truman Capote describes the Pontalba Buildings as “... the oldest, in some ways most somberly elegant, apartment houses in America.” The matching red-brick block-long four-story buildings were built in the 1840s by the Baroness Micaela Almonester Pontalba, and were home to Sherwood Anderson’s salon.
