The house caught fire in July 2021, which led to an arson inquiry by the police. When the fire started at 6:20 p.m. on a Wednesday, a New Orleans Police Department spokeswoman claimed they had gotten a tip of a suspicious individual near the home.

According to an eyewitness account, the fire began in the kitchen. Firefighters discovered books inside the oven and a gasoline container inside the home. Twenty-two firefighters arrived when a smoke alarm at the three-story Spanish Baroque building went off, alerting them to the problem. Two hours later, the fire was completely put out.
