Woodruff-Fontaine House:
680 Adams Avenue, Memphis, TN 38105

I love the Woodruff-Fontaine House. It is old Memphis, 19th century historical home in a FrenchVictorian style. This may be the most appropriate place for scenic senior portraits for a young lady. It is also lovely for weddings. House hours noon-4p.m. Wednesday - Sunday. There is plenty of free private parking off Orleans.
