Searching for the REAL House of the Rising Sun in New Orleans

- There was a house in New Orleans they called the Rising Sun and it's long been debated if it ever existed and if so, where it was located. There are several locations that many consider to be the actual House of the Rising Sun.

Hi there, I’m NOLADEEJ! I go to different places in and around New Orleans and sometimes to other cities, states, and countries. I visit Roadside Attractions, Historical Spots, Cemeteries, Abandoned Places, Festivals and Events. I try to check as much out as I can and share what I find here so everyone can enjoy it. If you like what you see, please consider subscribing to my channel. I post videos often! Thanks for dropping by! - Розваги

Whether you believe the House of the Rising Sun was based on a real place or not, you have to admit the history behind the song is pretty fascinating. I really enjoyed diving into the story behind the song.
Did they miss the opportunity to have the Skeleton playing, (the music in front of him being..)
*"The House of the Rising Sun"?*
I’m a New Orleans native and I absolutely love your videos. You teach me more than I even know about my own city!
Aw that's awesome thank you so much!
Same here!
Same! Moved to Miami a year ago from home 🌙 (I love cities that apparently won’t exist soon due to sinking)
Thanks for keeping NOLA alive during the "pandemic." We've cancelled 2 trips there this year because of it but we'll be there in Dec come hell or high water.
I’m pretty sure the song is about a house on the corner of Alvar and Dauphine. The madam lived next door and would put a flag up on the big flag pole when a ship would come in. The flag pole was removed when a yankee bought the house. I screamed at him for that.
Nice! Yeah there are quite a few theories as to where it could have been for sure
I’ve heard the same thing that 3900 Dauphine St is the real house of the rising sun
At 6:34 Kinda look like Yazoo City's little down town area. All the buildings in down town are all different colors. You should check it out! Really Kool.
I was waiting for a video about this! Excellent!
Good morning Deej. Your videos are always very interesting and informative. This one is certainly no exception. The time and effort you put into each video, along with your story telling abilities, make your channel one of my absolute favorites. Have a wonderful day my friend!
Wow thank you! That really means a lot!!
So cool, I grew up listening to that song. It's pretty cool to see the history behind it and possible locations of where it could have been. Awesome video as always!
I miss my home of New Orleans.....but your videos make me feel as if I'm there! Thank you! House of the Rising Sun, was the first song I learned to play on the guitar....had no idea, it was that old!!!! Very cold in Northwest Louisiana right now....lol Great video, Great info, and makes me miss home.....coming for a visit soon! Would love it if you did a history on Algiers Point, lived there for years.....beautiful and historic as well....
Oh very cool! Same here one of the first songs I learned as well
@@NOLADEEJ if you're from New Orleans, and playguitar, I guess its a no brainer huh, lol.....and the City of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie also! Two of my favorites! Lol
Fascinating!! Thanks for sharing, loved it!!
Very beautiful home! Very interesting how my cousin John Batiste owned this beautiful home! Very beautiful convent!
Oh nice! He owned the one on St Louis?
Fantastic video, thank you so much for this!
Thanks for uploading this video. It’s the first time I heard this song Rising Sun Blues, and it’s very cool I thought 👍
Great vlog Deej! I like that song! You're right so much history there. If I ever decide to visit you have to show me around. Lol Great shot of the sun above the building.
Love your videos. Nice to find a local youtuber. You are doing great work documenting the city. God bless you.
Interesting video on The House of the Rising Son. One of my favorite songs indeed, long before I embraced the South as my home in 1976. Thank you for sharing this video and of course your research. Thank you my friend. Be careful out there and stay safe.
Love your vids! Thanks for bringing to NOLA when I can't get there in person!
Thank you so much for your channel!!!
Great channel and great video! Wish I had discovered your channel before I went to NOLA last year...
Great content! Interesting video! Love the historical ones. Keep it up! 😎
Thanks so much, Drew!
That’s a great song done by The Animals
I like the flip side “Garage Of The Falling Moon”
Flying in to NO this Wednesday, so of coarse binge watching your channel to get ideas. So much to do there in so little time.
Awesome...best of weeks to you
Same thing I'm living for, same thing I'm dying from momma says you can't go home, can't go home!
Back in the mid/late 60s my friends and I went looking for the HotRS during Mardi Gras. Sadly we discovered it was no longer in operation. However, we did find a source who informed us of it's original location. But before he would give us the information we had to swear on pain of death to never divulge it to anyone, in anyway. Since we are all still alive that vow was never broken. I know it was the actual location because the source charged us $5 each for the information. Hope that settles the matter. :-)
Hahaha!! 😆
Thanks for the video. I miss new orleans. I haven't been since 2018.
Your video have inspire me to visit NOLA once this pandemic is over . It's filled with history and beautiful old houses . Apart of me wish i lived there
That's awesome! You're welcome any time here
@@NOLADEEJ Thank you. My favorite Video's of your is when you show a few historic hotels where you can even have breakfast in the court yard . That video feed my desire to come to NOLA .You would make an AWSOME guide , Please keep posing video's im making notes lol
This was so interesting. I myself love visiting New Orleans because of its history and the beautiful buildings.
Thank you. My plans to move to Bogalusa is still in the plans. Just put on hold because of the virus but my house is ready so sometime after the new year I will be a transplant once again. Can haedly wait.
Haven't had a chance to watch this video yet but wanted to drop you a comment that we saw the Google commercial you are in! As soon as I heard it the first time, I said, "That sounds like EXACTLY like NOLADEEJ!" Heard the commercial several more times and kept wondering. Today, I was finally in the room when it came on again and actually saw you in it. Good job! (How'd that come about?) (By the way, in case you are wondering where it aired, we are in Western New York, just south of Buffalo.)
Wow...I love the history you bring out in your vlogs. I have been to New Orleans only once which was just before Katrina. Your city was so lovely. I did not get to see everything that I wanted to then, but now I have your vlogs. You sir are an excellent guide and storyteller. Your revelations make NOLA fun and exciting again. Thank you so much for taking us on these journeys...some of us, like me, cannot walk anymore and you guide us expertly along these historic trails. Yup. 🙂
One of my favorite songs. Used to be my ring tone. Have a Beingnet and Cafe Au Lait for me, love NOLA!
I’m from Metairie, Louisiana lived in New Orleans until I was 13 years old but I’ve been in Colorado for a little over 20 years and I love your videos!!! ❤️❤️ I get so home sick but I love it!
Oh wow! Well thank you 😁
This was amazing! I live in Westwego! #WhoDat
Great channel! Just subscribed.
We haven't been since before the pandemic. Nice work, keep it up.
BTW, best song ever!
Right on! Thanks so much!! ❤️
There was a Rising Sun Coffee House across Levee St. from the Custom House in the 1830's. In the 1840's there was also a Rising Sun Coffee House near the St. Mary Market. And there was a Rising Sun Hotel as you spoke of.
Also a Rising Sun Hotel at Bayou St. John in the mid 1820's.
In Feb 27, 1822 a fire broke out in the Rising Sun Hotel on Conti and consumed the entire building.
The sun rose early and lighted the coffee house on Levee Street that would have served the dock workers. So it always made sense to me that it was the original location. Several others maybe flourished as well.. but the dockside location seems most plausible. 🌞
I saw Eric Burden at Johnny White's bsr one afternoon on St. Peter Street back in the early 1980s, sing along to the jukebox playing this song. He was with a photographer that I knew. Someone told him to" shut up" , cause they were trying to listen to the song. Oh the irony of that moment....
I love your videos I know o say it on everyone but I do. They really make me realize how much I missed when I was there omg!!!
Aw that's awesome!! Thank you!
Fascinating. I think we stayed at the Villa Convento back in the 60's.
Oh wow that's cool!
What a fantastic video! I'm wanting to create a tattoo for the song and I'm searching for any history I can to try to piece something together. Loved this video. Thank you!
Oh awesome!! Thanks for watching!
This is a great report, great information, and a great presentation. In the vid, just as the narrator panned his camera skyward I breathlessly exclaimed, ''Look at that sky!'' just as he said the same thing. I don't remember seeing a cleaner, bluer sky. No visible chemicals.
Thank you so much!
I’ve never been to Louisiana, but have always wanted to visit the French Quarter (and Six Flags, lol). There seems to be a TON of History there in New Orleans. Unfortunately, here in Utah, Salt Lake City specifically, many of the historic buildings are being demolished and I don’t like it. Lol.
That's disappointing to hear.
I never knew the story of the song. Very interesting. Maybe all those locations were brothels, but only one rising 🌞
I'm not from NOLA, but had the pleasure to meet record Ron. I had become friends with his girlfriend while visiting and had a few nice meals out on the town with them. He was an incredible person and I still think about him often.
Aw that's awesome!! I've heard good things about him, I bet he was a character!
The song is older than that building
Went to new Orleans once the hotel was a dive which was eventually leveled by Katrina I met a man who sold balloons who told me some of the history of the area I went to the casino down town I went and standed on a platform overlooking the river New Orleans has true charm I wasn't sure if I could come back after the aftermath of Katrina I though it be to sad
Thats one of my favorite songs I have the album by the Animals I like your mask I always root for the saints who dat
04:19 Villa Convento
I always wondered about that song wether or not there was a real place in NOLA.
There are a lot of conflicting theories, but these are the most collectively thought
Actually between the last two that you showed it would make since but if you could do more research and find out the date and a map of that time period that might get you a little closer to knowing. Remember that New Orleans wasn't a big Metopolitan like it is now so for all we know the last house you showed may have been. Just my thought but thank you for putting this together and love seeing the city reopening. Stay safe and hope to see more from you!!!
Actually the old maps show some of the addresses and roads are slightly different. It was tough finding out some of the info. But a fun scavenger hunt indeed. 😊 Thanks for checking it out!
I am from Louisiana and I thought the song 🎶 was about a prison. So much history being told. Gotta admit New Orleans has a very strong history.
A convent becoming a brothel? Like that hasn't been done before. Frankly, given the warped sense of humor that permeates New Orleans, it's just about de rigueur.
The opposite has also happened. The former quadroon ballroom became a convent.
I'm surprised you didn't go to the old, "Big Daddy's" on Bourbon. This was one of the oldest, most popular and well documented strip bars in the city. It was the site of the famous swinging legs, and mirror swing. Almost every movie filmed in NO, from the 60's to the 90's featured at least one shot of the bar. There were apartments over the club where the dancers lived. It's for this reason that many believe that spot to be, "The House of The Rising Sun".
the best video
Thanks man!
@@NOLADEEJ your welcome bud
No relation to Jason voorhees lol! They need to wear their masks so they don’t get that $500 fine! Great video! 💖Jenn
Dude, that IS a player piano!!!!!
Its not a place, its an experience poor boys have. The Doobie Brothers sang about it in the song "Toulouse Street".
Wait, I thought the house of the rising sun was a prison?
I like the skeleton at the bar :) this video makes me want to go to New Orleans very bad
Hehe he was awesome! Or she... Hard to tell, lol! You need to!
Sure is fascinating that the Animals made a great song out of it.
they did a great adaptation
Is that your picking we are hearing?
It is! 😁
@@NOLADEEJ Good man.
I had no idea. That the song it self had a long history. The song should be claimed by all establishments that have the history of being a brothel. The Irony is. What I was told while in Nola. First came the Sailors. “Then the ladies of the Night” Finally the Nuns. The Guitar rift you use at the beginning of this Vlog. Is it you playing. By any chance?. It be nice to hear you play your guitar on on your videos if you could.
The devil resides in the house of the rising son....in the song "devil went down to Georgia" Charlie Daniels actually tells you ......
Fire on the mountain
Run boys run
Devils in the house of the rising son
I think it's a play on words, rising sun = rising son if you're talking about a brothel?
Very possible
That is NOT the real house! My uncle owned it! It was off Jackson Ave ! Close to the river . My uncle lived on the premises so when I would go visit him since that is where he lived . My uncle would tell me to stay away from the house behind the bar . My old aunts and uncles would say not to even go. But he was my uncle and I wanted to visit with him!! So that is not the house!! It was a 4 plex . Like I said off Jackson Ave . Going towards the river it was on the right hand side about 2-3 blocks from the river . All the seamen would visit there when they came off the ships!!!
Which of the several places shown in my video are you referring to?
that hair around the mask reminds me of underwear in the 70's
Hahahaha favorite comment ever!!
THIS IS ACTUAL PROOF THERE IS A HOUSE IN NEW ORLEANS
It would have been cooler for the skeleton to actually play
so you found nothing what a waste of my time thanks
Lol mmkay
Take off the mask 🙄😷😶?
When it's safe to, absolutely
Johnny Cash is the best singer off all for the House of the Rising Sun song. His voice is amazing.
