From Suzanne to Rowan, including Julien and Mona Mayfair, an overview of each of the Legacy Mayfair Witches over 13 generations...
An overview of each novel in the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series as well as the three Vampire Chronicles novels they later appeared in.
The historic Brevard-Rice house, Anne Rice's former home in New Orleans' Garden District, was used as the home of the Designee of the Legacy all the way to Rowan Mayfair. See photographs, architectural drawings and historical notes about the home's remarkable history...
The Mayfair Witches as they moved throughout the world across time, and Rowan and Lasher's trip
The scientific, otherworldly and preternatural that surrounds the Mayfair Witches
From dying witch to undead as love blossoms between Mona Mayfair and Quinn Blackwood...exploring Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle
Who do the Mayfair Witches resemble physically? How did Anne Rice visualize the Mayfair emerald necklace?
I had to keep it basic as the model is enormous, but I was able to show a basic Irish traditional stew, cabbage something or other, bread, potatoes, and beer. There is a tray of Shamrock cookies on the sideboard and a soup tureen in the butler's pantry.

A view of the haunted swimming pool during the day, fountains off, with its stand-in cabana. Garden models are HUGE and this one crashes so much that getting it all close to what it actually looks like has been...a nightmare...and still is.

Another view of the Mayfair haunted swimming pool at night, fountains on. The open area beyond the cypress trees, used as a background here, faces Chestnut Street. The carriage house across the real Chestnut Street is for the Carroll-Crawford house (btw). You can't see her, but I have a model of Rowan Mayfair sitting on the swing to the far left.
This patio area in the real garden is rather plain and appears to have possibly been a pond at some point. I added this fountain about a year ago and designed it to look like the emerald key from the AMC series. The Soria-Creel house does have a similar fountain with a round pool. This one's got a couple of white lotuses...

This is my 3D model of the Mayfair Witches house of the novels. I used SketchUp's overlay feature to create the effects inspired by the cover of the 1993 Mass Market edition of The Witching Hour.
An updated Mayfair Witches Parlor. I toned down the pink and added a wallpaper border.
A very bright shot of the entry hall of the Mayfair Witches in 3D. That's the elevator on the far left.
Early version of the master bedroom. The Legacy Mayfair Witch traditionally slept here. That's Stella Mayfair in the picture by the Victrola.
This fountain was inspired by the emerald key from the AMC series. The Brevard Rice house does have this sort of patio off the side porch, but with what appeared to have been, perhaps, a koi pond. This fountain is in the general shape of the emerald design of the key, and is also a lotus pond. One of the lotuses is white...
Another view of the haunted pool. This one shows the fountains streaming water into the pool. Mysteriously, the fountains continued to function even when the pool was a weed-choked ruin...
Progress on the exterior of the Mayfair Witches house. This is a perspective from above the second floor gallery of the side porch, looking towards the back of the house.
A more recent version I made of the Mayfair Emerald in 3D. This version is a bit closer to a necklace that might have been from the mid 17th century, shown in a black velvet jewelry case.
One of the things each Mayfair Witch inherited was an old velvet coin purse, filled with priceless coins from across the world. It was said to be enchanted; all coins used by a Legacy Mayfair Witch found their way back to the velvet purse.
The haunted swimming pool. This model has appeared in some of the Parlor's YouTube videos with some animation in them.
The haunted swimming pool at night...
2023 Halloween special. I built this crypt based upon the sketch in The Witches' Companion. The keyhole doorway is at the top, and that is (EEP!) Deirdre's spot in the top right corner.
This model I made of the Mayfair Witches' dining room at Thanksgiving last year came to mind recently with the ELEGANCE OF THE ETERNAL auction...
Oh, this is an early version of the 3D double parlor! Very pink! The books on the table are little models of the Vampire Chronicles and New Tales of the Vampires (they don't open, though).
