Soldini House
in the opening credits for
"Steel Magnolias"

You can see Soldini House in this clip from the opening credits of the 1989 movie "Steel Magnolias." Watch the paperboy throw the paper up towards Soldini House!

The Soldini House, located at 240 Rue Jefferson, was designed by Italian architect
Athaneze Trizzini for his partner, Joseph Soldini. A bricklayer, Soldini purchased
the lot from Mrs. Charles Greneaux and built the house. In 1858 he sold it to
Chichester Chaplin Sr. The house was originally a one-and-a-half story Greek Revival
house with a gallery across the front and back. In 1925, it was totally remodeled
into the vernacular Italian Renaissance style seen today.
