\nThe Historic BK House &\; Gardens was built in 1826\, purchased by noted author \;Frances Parkinson Keyes in 1948 and restored under her loving care. Programming has \;evolved in the last several years to focus on the seven families who lived in the house\, as well as \;influences of the French Quarter neighborhood. A new interpretative program is underway to \;better reflect the heritage of the site. The Soiré\;e\, along with grants\, donations\, initiatives such \;as the Support-A-Potty \;campaign\, and fundraising events will help generate the more than \;$400\,000 needed for on-going restoration and future capital improvement projects.
\n
\nBack by popular demand\, the Historic BK House &\; Gardens is again hosting a festive evening affair that brings together French Quarter neighbors\, donors and \;community supporters who are committed to maintaining this significant cultural treasure. The second annual Soiré\;e in the Vieux Carré\; will take place from 5:30-8:30 pm on Sunday\, October 9\, throughout the historic property at 1113 Chartres Street. The evening will feature the Nayo Jones Experience in the Courtyard and John Rankin in the Parterre Garden\, as well as cocktails and a delicious Sunday supper by Palate New Orleans in the beautiful interior of the house. \;
\n
\nThis year&rsquo\;s event\, which happens after the Saints game\, will raise funds to support the restoration of the courtyard-facing faç\;ade. The 2021 Soiree enabled the nonprofit organization to begin the ongoing restoration \;of the Ursulines or Garden-facing faç\;ade\, progress for which can be viewed by the general \;public and passers-by. Work includes restoration to the original \;1826 windows and fabrication of period appropriate paneled shutters\, as well as masonry and stucco repairs to match the Chartres Street faç\;ade. The laborious process started in July of this year and plans are to reveal the final product as well as repairs to the Keyes library and a new bathroom at this year'\;s event.
