A French Quarter Walk Leads a Young Family to William Faulkner's Old Door

In New Orleans, courtship and real estate turned out to share a route. A second date became a stroll past the townhouse William Faulkner once called home, and in time that walk became an address of their own. A young family has since settled into the storied building, with a bookshop figuring into the same corner of the story. What began as an evening out has become, as the account has it, a fuller life built around a house whose name was already well known.
