The 2009 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was extensively filmed in New Orleans (and surrounding areas). Much of the filming took place in the Nolan house at 2707 Coliseum St. in New Orleans. Right around the corner from Commander's Palace restaurant, the 7,800-sq. foot mansion has 6 bedrooms, a music room, a library, and a reception hall. Filming took place in virtually every room in the house.
Built in 1832 (and renovated substantially in 1872), the house has been the home for three generations of William T. Nolan II's family. It is Nolan's daughter, Ashley, who plays a doctor in the movie.
The historic property recently went up for auction - with $2.85 million starting price tag!
