This antebellum mansion has had many living residents since it was built with cotton-business money in 1857 by Alexander Harris for his young bride. Harris died in 1869 from yellow fever, but another cotton king, John Henry Maginnis, bought the property in 1879. He was then struck by lightning (some people said the lightning strike was bad karma for the poor working conditions in his cotton mill) and died on July 4, 1889. His daughter, Josephine Maginnis, later founded the New Orleans Chapter of the American Red Cross and donated the home to be used as the city’s Red Cross headquarters during World War II.
