The Venue:
Anthemion: Architect Frank Graveley built this 38-room, 9,300-sq ft building in 1896. It was used as the Japanese consulate from 1938 to shortly after December 7, 1941. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, New Orleanians stormed the consulate to protest while Consul Kenzo Ito and his staff burned paperwork and telegrams. The FBI moved in to protect the building from the mob. By 1947, the Spanish consulate had moved in. Today, it is owned by our gracious hosts.
