New Orleans, LA 70117

Antoine "Fats" Domino's house, located at 1208 Fats Domino Avenue in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward, has stood as a significant landmark since 1960. The property features a pink-and-white split-level mansion and a white-brick shotgun house, symbolizing Domino's enduring connection to his hometown and his legacy as a rock 'n' roll pioneer.

This iconic residence became synonymous with the ravages of Hurricane Katrina when images of Domino's rescue emerged, capturing the world's attention. A renowned homebody, Domino chose to stay in his childhood neighborhood, hosting friends and musicians alike, and eventually returned to New Orleans after the storm, where he lived until his passing in 2017.

Fats Domino's house was his castle. He held court there until Katrina destroyed his home... but through the help of others it was rebuilt but his community didn't return. On the Saturday after...

RIP legend Fats Domino. Stopped by your house in the 9th Ward to pay respects. Thanks for all the incredible music and for being one of the fathers of Rock and Roll.
