    2329 Coliseum has a history dating back to 1868 when merchant John Hall contracted William Arms to build eight single-family rental cottages on land that Hall acquired as a twenty-year-old in 1824. Local architect Henry Howard is often credited with the Greek Revival and Italianate design of these houses. The street numbers of the eight houses were originally 137, 139, 141, 143, 145, 147, 149, and 151 Coliseum Street. Sometimes the addresses that were used for the houses were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Hall’s Row. When the New Orleans street numbering system was converted to the present system in the early 1890s, the street numbers became 2301, 2305, 2309, 2313, 2317, 2321, 2325, and 2329 Coliseum Street. So 2329 Coliseum Street has been known as 151 Coliseum Street and 8 Hall’s Row. John Hall, born about 1802, was originally from Martinsburg, Virginia (later West Virginia) and moved to New Orleans as a child or teen. Here he met Mary Ramsey, who had been born in the West Indies about 1810 and died in 1862. They had four daughters, two of whom inherited the properties after John Hall died in 1874. The houses are often called the Seven Sisters despite there being eight houses. This name may have come about because the property at 2301 Coliseum no longer has a Greek Revival or Italianate façade. Several articles and advertisements were found in The Times-Picayune (or its predecessors). Some of these provide names of families that have resided at 2329 Coliseum such as the Morans (1910s to 1933), the McClendons (1933 to 1939), and the Martins (1939 to ?). The City Directory of the mid-1880s list Francisco Blanco, manager at Avendano Bros., as the resident of 8 Hall’s Row.

    2329 Coliseum has a history dating back to 1868 when merchant John Hall contracted William Arms to
    build eight single-family rental cottages on land that Hall acquired as a twenty-year-old in 1824. Local architect
    Henry Howard is often credited with the Greek Revival and Italianate design of these houses.

    The street numbers of the eight houses were originally 137, 139, 141, 143, 145, 147, 149, and 151
    Coliseum Street. Sometimes the addresses that were used for the houses were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Halls
    Row. When the New Orleans street numbering system was converted to the present system in the early 1890s,
    the street numbers became 2301, 2305, 2309, 2313, 2317, 2321, 2325, and 2329 Coliseum Street. So 2329
    Coliseum Street has been known as 151 Coliseum Street and 8 Halls Row.

    John Hall, born about 1802, was originally from Martinsburg, Virginia (later West Virginia) and moved to
    New Orleans as a child or teen. Here he met Mary Ramsey, who had been born in the West Indies about 1810
    and died in 1862. They had four daughters, two of whom inherited the properties after John Hall died in 1874.

    The houses are often called the Seven Sisters despite there being eight houses. This name may have

    2325 Coliseum Street


    The Home of Sally and Richard Edrington

    Photo by Sara Essex

    Big things come in


    small packages. Sally
    and Richard Edringtons house at
    2325 Coliseum may be smaller than
    the mansions on the Avenue, but it
    packs a big punch. Brilliant colors,
    bold combinations and exotic shapes
    surprise at every turn in this 1868
    camelback shotgun. Although she is
    quick to credit her contractor and designers, one gets the sense that Sallys
    vibrant personality is the true inspiration for her homes exquisite interior.
    Sally, originally from Jasper, Ala.,
    and Richard, a New Orleans native,
    both fell in love with this house the
    instant they saw it. They cite the
    light-filled rooms, 13-foot ceilings
    and 140 years of history as some of
    their favorite features. With the help

    of Melissa Rufty of MMR Interiors


    and the professionals at M. Carbine
    Restorations, the Edringtons personalized the house to suit their tastes.
    Guests are greeted at the front door
    by saturated colors on a pale backdrop of pickled wood floors and soft
    white walls. Corners and hallways are
    converted into cozy, useful spaces by
    custom-made banquettes. Chinese
    influences mix with traditional marble
    mantles and modern American art.
    The antiques were either inherited
    from family or hand-picked from
    Magazine Street. Mirrors flanking the
    free-standing fireplace hail from the
    estate of famous designer and Louisiana native Geoffrey Beene. And a

    painting of a well-known waiter at


    Galatoires reminds you that youre
    deep in the heart of New Orleans.
    The surprising use of color and
    juxtaposition of styles continues
    throughout the home, which has a
    history as lively as its interior. The
    property that now teems with life at
    2325 Coliseum was originally part
    of a large piece of land acquired by
    John Hall in 1824. Forty-plus years
    later, in 1868, Hall contracted with
    builder William Arms to construct
    eight adjacent single-family cottages
    on Coliseum Street. This string of
    similar shotgun houses is often called
    Halls Row or The Seven Sisters,
    even though there are actually eight
    houses. Although the contract does
    not name an architect, the famed
    Henry Howard
    is often credited
    for the design
    of these eight
    homes. Hall
    paid $32,800
    for the eight
    shotguns, which
    made them pretty
    expensive for
    one-story rental
    cottages and is an
    indication of attention to detail
    on the interiors.
    When Hall
    died in 1874 at
    the age of 72, his
    two daughters
    inherited his
    large real estate
    portfolio. In
    1889, this particular house was
    then sold to Mrs.
    Georgina Ducros
    Rawlins for $3,500; in 1895, she sold
    it to grocer Adam Frank for $3,300.
    When street addresses were standardized that year, Halls Row was designated as the 2300 block of Coliseum.
    For the next five decades and more,
    2325 Coliseum continued its life as a
    rental property.
    Adam Frank and his descendants
    owned the shotgun at 2325 until
    1947, but there is no evidence that
    any of them ever lived at the house.
    Thanks to census records, however, it
    is possible to track the many interesting families who were tenants there
    in the early 20th century, including a
    drummer with eight children and his
    French grandfather, the secretary of

    the Police Board and his wife and five


    children, a public accountant, a postman, some oil company employees
    and a number of teachers.
    In 1947, the combined Frank heirs
    partitioned the real estate conglomerate begun by Adam Frank. Elizabeth
    Frank, wife of Harry A. Thompson,
    received the Coliseum house and sold
    it June 12, 1947, for $9,300 to Emmet
    Parkerson, Jr. For the first time in its
    almost-80-year-existence, 2325 Coli-

    seum, the seventh of the eight Halls


    Row cottages, was owner-occupied.
    Parkerson did a much-needed
    renovation of the house, which paid
    off when he sold it for $23,000 in
    1955 to Lucie Pasquier, widow of John
    E. Baker. Between 1965 and 2000,
    the house changed hands ten times.
    Finally, in early 2004, it was sold to
    Sally and Richard Edrington, who
    have made it into the vibrant residence it remains today.
