Beyonce’s House
In the center of New Orleans' Garden District, there lies a 15,000 square foot mansion that is hidden on Google Maps. Why is it hidden from view? According to rumor, the history of the house has made it something that is best hidden under a rug. This place has, to put it frankly, been a circus for years.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z were the current owners of the property. They owned it but didn't reside there. It's been a mystery how they put the house for sale in 2021, increasing the price by $1 million in a week without any rhyme or reason and using pictures from 2015, just before someone tried to burn it down.
The house was initially constructed as a Presbyterian church in the 1910s. Over the years, the church acquired progressively more land, relocated, and expanded the structure. A handful of Ku Klux Klan members opened the renovated church in 1923, to the approval of the rest of the congregation. It appears that the preacher served as the leader of the KKK branch in Louisiana.
