Dodwell House
Anna’s Place NOLA, a youth program operated by St. Anna’s Episcopal Church, stands as a beacon of possibility and hope. Anna’s Place NOLA has been disrupting pernicious cycles of poverty and violence, changing lives, for over a decade. As the needs of our community continue to increase, Anna’s Place has outgrown its home at St. Anna’s Church. Planning for expansion, St. Anna’s purchased a nearby historic house and named it “Dodwell House” for our beloved former minister and his wife, which will become the new home for Anna's Place NOLA.
