This spot was the location of many different places, including a French colonial home, another residence for Juan Laporte in 1789, a bakery on an added second floor in 1807, and, after that went belly-up, the residence of the Thomas Poree family in 1808. It was Cafe Havana, a cigar shop, in the 1990s, and is now reported to be a stationery store, Papier Plume. Staff at the former cigar store had seen and heard the apparition of a giggling young woman, and they said that the cigar price tags in the humidor often were mixed up by unseen hands.
