that Tom is picked up and taken to a meeting with rival gangleader Johnny Caspar ( Jon Polito).Ĭaspar’s illegal gaming club, from which Tom is rescued by a timely police raid, is the west side of South Peters Street between Julia and St Joseph Streets, in the Warehouse District – now trendily rebranded as the Arts District. It’s a little further along, outside 2036 Magazine Street. The pillars supporting the ornate balconies on the south side of the street are a clue as to which city we’re in. In the Garden District itself, the shoeshine stand, where Tom tries to put one more ill-advised bet on the horses, was set up in front of what is now Magazine Antiques, 2028 Magazine Street, between St Andrews and Josephine Streets. The grand pillared exterior, seen later during the police raid, is the Main Office entrance of Whitney National Bank, 619 Gravier Street, which is just around the corner from the International House.Īlthough the room of Leo’s right-hand man Tom Reagan ( Gabriel Byrne) is a studio set, the exterior of the ‘Barton Arms’ (a nod to Barton Fink, which the Coens wrote during a break in the filming of Miller’s Crossing), is 7904 St Charles Avenue between Huso and Fern Streets in the East Carrollton district, way to the west of the city.īack nearer the centre, interior sets were built in a huge garage space belonging to the estate agents Toye Brothers at 1600 Annunciation Street in the Lower Garden District. It’s now been modernised to become one of the hotel’s meeting rooms. Leo’s wood-panelled office, with its imposing semicircular window looking out onto Camp Street, was indeed above the dining room. In 2007, It was given a further renovation by LM Pagano, designer of choice for the likes of Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp. The hotel has undergone a serious makeover since filming, bought in 1998 by entrepreneur Sean Cummings and, along with architect Brooks Graham, transformed into a boutique hotel. The ‘Shenandoah Club’ run by Irish underworld boss Leo O’Bannion ( Albert Finney) is – what was then – the old worlde-style dining room of New Orleans’ International House Hotel, 221 Camp Street at Gravier Street, on the border between the French Quarter and Central Business District. The locations for Miller’s Crossing, the Coen brothers’ typically idiosyncratic take on the gangster pic, can be found around New Orleans, though the Prohibition-era city remains anonymous throughout.
