2523 Prytania Street, Nicolas Cage

Located just a block from St. Charles Ave, Mr. Cage has easy access to mass transit via the street car line.

Originally built as the Lonsdale-McStea House, the Redemptorist Fathers bought this home after the Civil War and turned it into a Catholic Chapel.

In 1996 writer Anne Rice bought the Chapel to use as a home, but sold it to actor Nicolas Cage, who still lives here.

We saw no sign of him today, of course, but there were plants in the windows.

There's an iron cast pavilion building built near the fence with "Our Mother of Perpetual Help" in big letters. Looks like, forgive us, sort of a Nicolas cage.
