Galleycat reports that the Faulkner House, a non-profit that supports "aspiring writers" and preserves the French Quarter manse where William Faulkner lived for a year early in his career, suffered moderate damage, more to its financial health and long-range survivability than to the house itself.

No word on landmarks associated with Tennessee Williams, Walker Percy, or others associated with the city.
