FROM THE EDITOR
A n American city this diverse and rich in culture is made for world- class journalism. There are so many stories to tell. And as much as I love to jump online for a quick reference or read, there is nothing quite like the printed news and a cup of coffee for me. They go hand in hand. I love when imaginative photography jumps off the page and community driven stories are told as they unfold over time. As we celebrate our history and look to the future, there is so much about New Orleans to be proud of in a multitude of arenas. We're so extra and I'm excited to read all about it. In this issue of Adore , we spotlight the boutique hotel The Eliza Jane, fondly named after Eliza Jane Nicholson, the groundbreaking publisher of the historic Daily Picayune . The 19th century warehouses that once housed the newspaper's offices have been renovated to perfection. And oh what stories those beautifully restored brick walls can tell! And speaking of carefully preserved living history, several alluring French Quarter buildings are bustling with Bevolo Gas and Electric Lighting's use of modern energy. There's a distinct vibrancy in town right now, and as we kick off the Fall football season, there's one thing I know for sure – it's the Saints all the way!

GOING
bold
F act: New Orleans is a football city. You may not keep up with the rankings, but if you live here, you cheer for Drew #Breesus and the Saints. And since this is New Orleans, you tailgate, attend watch parties, or throw an impromptu postgame party. Honestly, any Saints-themed gathering is acceptable. From September to the first Sunday of February, the Saints dominate New Orleanians' thoughts, conversations, and even our dreams. Who could blame us? After last year's heartbreaking loss, we're out for blood. This passion seeps into every aspect of our culture – and fashion. Gone are the days of faded jerseys as black and gold meets haute couture. Now, whether you're at a tailgate or at a gala, you can rep the Saints with flair. It's safe to say we'll be sporting black and gold all the way to the Super Bowl.

Old World Style for the Modern Day BEVOLO THE
By katy danos | photos by chris granger
L ike New Orleans, Bevolo Gas and Electric Lights is steeped in history and tradition. As a fourth generation family-owned company, Bevolo exudes magnificent old world style in the modern day city that has fueled its aesthetic for over seven decades. As the oldest and largest continuously-operating gas light manufacturer in the country, Bevolo brings an unrivaled commitment to New Orleans, shining bright in the French Quarter and supporting our local economy. The iconic lanterns and lights are shipped all over the world, but each and every one is handmade locally by master craftsmen passionate about this time-honored art form. In 1945, Andrew Bevolo, Sr., a skilled metal worker, encountered the noted Louisiana architect, A. Hays Town, and together they created the original French Quarter lantern. Years of experience at Ford, Sikorsky, and Higgins in the automobile, aviation, and landing craft industries armed Mr. Bevolo with unmatched technical expertise. His design, crafted in American- sourced copper with hand-riveted rather than soldered joints, revolutionized the production of exterior lighting. Oxidized to a beautiful caramel hue, his lanterns were built to last a lifetime and a new business was born in the French Quarter. A visit to the Royal Street showrooms and museum is a quintessential New Orleans experience like no other. Over 40 open flame lanterns adorn an exposed brick wall leading from the street to the romantic courtyard to the living museum in the heart of the French Quarter. Open for the public to enjoy, stepping into Bevolo is as authentic to our beloved city as it gets. The Exchange

Alley workshop is filled with memorabilia and original work tables illuminating the company's fascinating history, as well as notes about Mr. Bevolo's unique contributions to the industry. Talented coppersmiths, working with the purest sheets of metal, are at work and happy to answer questions as they share their knowledge. You can even rent this beautiful venue for private parties and special events. In an increasingly high-tech world, it is a rare treat to have access to such a charming and lovingly-preserved piece of the Quarter's cultural history. From the most historically accurate to recent contemporary creations, there are hundreds of lighting styles to choose from. Of course, the original design is far and away the most popular, but stainless steel and custom hand-welded yokes, brackets, and mounts are also offered. The same goes for their vast array of interior lighting presented in one of the shops that flanks the main showroom. Chandeliers, sconces, and antique courtyard accessories all reflect the same impeccable quality. Their other jewel box

of a shop features a carefully curated display of vibrant mid-century modern pendants and lights. It's a colorful departure from the traditional lanterns, but the love of craft and artistry is exactly the same. The collection of vintage Blenko and Murano hand-blown glass lamps, handmade shades, and one of a kind finials celebrates the Bevolo love for detail and authenticity. No other exterior lighting fixture on the market can hold a candle to the quality, patina, and craftsmanship of a Bevolo light. The French Quarter lantern is elegant and timeless, and few things are as alluring as the burnished glow of a gas lit flame. Not just made in America, these pieces are made right here in the heart of New Orleans.

The Batwing Flame
A Bevolo lantern has a signature open flame, fondly coined the "batwing glow," because of the distinctive shape of its flickering light. It's not just happenstance. With patented technology, a Bevolo light is not only the most efficient natural gas burner on the market, its flame is bigger and brighter, designed to operate 24/7. The iconic "Bevolo look" is just like New Orleans – romantic, mesmerizing, and truly original.

ADORE • FALL 2019
Instead of soldering the joints of each lantern, over 97 rivets are hand tapped in using a ball-peen hammer. This is what sets the design apart in strength and longevity.

Elephant THE
IN THE ROOM
By katy danos
E lephants have long been a symbol of strength and good fortune. Equipped with their charming trunks and quiet power, these majestic creatures are known to have strong emotions and excellent memories. They are also among the most loyal, wise, and compassionate
beings. As the largest land animal on Earth, they still manage to bring a sense of peace and comfort and a cheerful upturned trunk might just be one of the happiest sights in the kingdom. No wonder the elephant pops up on everything from lamps to jewelry to tabletop décor.

Formerly a collection of warehouses in the 19th century, the space served as HQ for a bitters factory and The Daily Picayune , whose legendary owner Eliza Jane Nicholson was the first woman in the country to publish a major newspaper and is now the namesake of a hotel. The paper's owner, Colonel Alva Holbrook, fell for Eliza Jane and they soon married. Holbrook sold the paper and

subsequently bought it back after the new owners drove it into the ground. Whilst in the process of salvaging the publication, Holbrook passed away, leaving Eliza Jane at the helm to bring the near-bankrupt paper back to profitability. A true feat given the precarious times as New Orleans was recovering from the effects of the Civil War. Reconstruction lasted until 1877, and "it was a period of great upheaval socially, politically, and economically," explained Amanda McFillen, The Historic New Orleans Collection's associated director of museum programs. "Also, the hot summers regularly brought outbreaks of yellow fever which took a huge toll on the population." Not one to cower, she took charge. On March 26, 1876, Eliza Jane announced on the front page that she had taken over ownership and began to make significant changes to the daily, to appeal to a wider audience. She added a society column, a children's section, expanded coverage of the local arts scene, and a subscription to the Associated Press for current international news. She would also instate the Weather Frog, a beloved lagniappe of the paper which is still intact today.

"Writing was a life-long creative pursuit for her and something she was proud of," said McFillen. "She also was an incredibly savvy entrepreneur who led a failing newspaper from the brink of collapse to the most successful newspaper in the region," said McFillen. Eliza Jane soon remarried. She wed her business manager, George Nicholson, and together they ran the paper. McFillen said that Eliza Jane surrounded herself with loyal, smart, and hardworking colleagues. During her tenure, she advocated for women by hiring them (a practice that was rare at the time), mentoring them, and paying the same wages as their male counterparts. The duo ran The Daily Picayune for 20 years until their deaths by influenza in 1896. The paper remained locally owned into the 20th century. Leslie Oliver, director of sales and marketing at the Eliza Jane, said that the hotel's design team was inspired by the buildings' original occupants. The Daily Picayune

inspired many of the hotel's details from the blue paint which resembles the original ink color and literary touches, like fully-stocked bookcases and antique typewriters in the lounge, where you can enjoy a drink from the lobby bar, The Press Room. "All of the vintage objects throughout the hotel were locally sourced in New Orleans from various antique stores and handpicked by the Stonehill Taylor design team," Olivier said. The New York- based design firm managed to couple the rich heritage of the warehouses by uniting them, leaving ample space for 196 spacious, modern rooms and amenities.

leather headboards, which complement the eclectic accent furniture and other accessories throughout. There are 50 suites – most of which contain the hotel's original brick walls and ceiling beams – a fitness center, and close to 2,000 square feet of event space. The hotel is also home to Couvant, a French brasserie conceptualized and managed by Makeready, a Dallas-based group. The restaurant offers a variety of seating from the cozy banquettes to a petit oyster bar, and private parties can opt for the secluded dining room. Fare is sophisticated yet approachable and accompanied by a strong beverage program. Beyond the restaurant sits their newest addition, Bisous Wine Garden, an interior courtyard hideaway featuring unique wines and light bites. The Eliza Jane officially opened in March 2018, 141 years after Eliza Jane Nicholson announced her ownership of The Daily Picayune . The hotel, which is a member of Hyatt's Unbound Collection, celebrates the city's rich history through an immaculately designed getaway, replete with touches of our undeniable charm.
