There is, in fact, a house in New Orleans
I recently took a brief vacation in New Orleans, so when I came across a story about the discovery of a possible site of The House of the Rising Sun, I was intrigued. Most of you will remember the song by The Animals (based on a folk song) by the same name. Apparently trying to track down what the song is referring to resulted in investigation from The Straight Dope on the matter, as well.
(incidently, visitors to New Orleans should head out to the Garden District and get dinner at La Petite Grocery)
Also: I did not take these, but here are some photos of the Garden District in New Oreleans.
