"There are some impressive old structures in the French Quarter, and the Old Ursuline Convent is most certainly one of them; completed in 1752, it's one of the finest examples of French architecture in the United States. The building has lived many lives: a convent, a schoolhouse, a residence for the Archbishop, and a seat of city legislature. Inside, past the simple façade, are wooden staircases and stained-glass windows." - Paul Oswell
