Speak? guano (sp) maybe but then again the 'accent' may be more helpful afterall :)

The Vatican?

No

But the saint? hmm.....

I will need to read up the full background again and will advise whether there was a Templar connection and yes the Saints name is ultimately key IMO.

Edit - I have yet to find any Templar connection

Edit - re architecture ~ it has had various periods of change and rebuilding???

PS Sorry for the delay guys & gals there was a crust to earned !

Was it first built in the 13th century (1200s)?

It origins are Saxon and has had many additions and extensions/changes all the way through to the 15th C

Monty got it... It is Anne Rice's "Rosegate" home in New Orleans' Garden District. She lived there when the photo was taken - that's her limo in front and weird dog statue on the balcony. It was also the home of her fictional Mayfair Witches.

Roy Mathers

Ah, I'm afraid to say the name Anne Rice means nothing to me - apologies!

bjordan

Anne Rice wrote bestselling vampire books beginning with "Interview with a Vampire," which was made into a motion picture starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. For you Brits, it was also the inspiration for Sting's song "Moon Over Bourbon Street."
