Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. 

Cordelia: Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies was established as a premiere girls' finishing school in 1790. During the Civil war, it was converted into a military hospital. Afterwards, it came under new management. Our management. In 1868, Marianne Wharton, a prominent East Coast society matron, early suffragette, author of several popular children's books and, as it happened, the reigning Supreme of that time- purchased this facility, retaining the name as a cover, establishing a safe haven where young witches could gather to learn. In its heyday, the academy was home to as many as 60 girls. Over the years, those numbers dwindled.

Zoe: Why?

Cordelia: We're a dying breed, Zoe. Many of the families who knew they carried the bloodline made a choice not to reproduce.

Zoe: So, what's a Supreme?

Cordelia: An average witch is born with a few natural gifts. But in each generation there is one woman who embodies countless gifts. Some say... all of them. She is the Supreme.

Zoe: Are you the Supreme?

Cordelia: No. I'm like you. Just a witch. And a teacher. I'm here to help you identify your gifts and teach you how to control them.

Queenie: She means to suppress them.

Cordelia: Not suppression. Control.

Madison: She thinks it's still the 1600s.

Cordelia: No. Back then, our kind understood the dangers. Today, so many families know nothing of their ancestry. Too many girls aren't lucky enough to have found us or weren't identified in time for us to have found them... We are under siege, ladies. Our lives, our very existence is always at risk. Know this or face extinction.

Yes. It’s the house from American Horror Story (Coven).

Buckner Mansion New Orleans

The Buckner Mansion in New Orleans will be very familiar to fans of the TV show American Horror Story—it was the setting for the third season. You can even rent the place yourself, if you have a few thousand dollars to spare. If you do, then it comes with its own housekeeper. Unfortunately, the housekeeper in question died in the 19th century.

Miss Josephine was a freed black woman in charge of the slaves that worked at the house. She was well-trusted and doubled as a governess and midwife. She ran the house flawlessly, and she continue to do so after the Civil War, even when all the slaves were gone. She was so dedicated that guests say she still runs the house today.

Guests have reported the sound of a broom and the scent of lemon—her favorite—moving from room to room. The chandeliers swing, doors open and close themselves, and lights flash on and off. Some people have seen her apparition at the window. A sense of sadness can apparently be felt in her room, the result of the various slave women and babies that died there during childbirth. Don’t worry about that if you rent it, though, as you have seven other bedrooms to choose from.
