French Quarter dig searches for House of the Rising Sun

JANET McCONNAUGHEY

Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS - There was a house in New Orleans where women wore rouge by the ton. When it burned to ruins in 1822, it was called the Rising Sun.

Until this year, most people speculating about the origins of the old song "House of the Rising Sun" didn't even mention the Rising Sun Hotel.

But archaeologists digging in the French Quarter say that whether or not the Rising Sun was the debauched establishment described in the song, it was definitely debauched.

Sweet! I love New Orleans. Got to go with my dad for a day while he drove truck. The French Quarter and Bourbon Street were what we saw but it was so interesting.

Interesting I couldn't find the article when I was looking through the print version of the Herald-Leader. Maybe we just overlooked it.
