Facts and Events
1890 New Orleans Directory lists occupation as auctioneer and real estate. His Business was at 196 Gravier Street and he resided at 216 Pleasant street. In 1891 he is residing at 217 Pleasant Street. 1900 Census does not have Warren living with Isabelle and the children, though the city directory still shows him living at 1811 Carondolet Street. 1910 Census shows Warren living alone at 2300 Gravier Street. The following is from Biographical and Historical Memiors of Louisiana (Chicago Publishing, 1892, Vol I, p.483). Hon. Warren Homes, a member of the Louisiana State Legislature from the 11th Ward of New Orleans, is a native of this city, born 10 November 1849, he was here reared and educated and commenced the battle of life for himself. During the Civil War and after New Orleans had been taken possession of by the Federals, Mr. Homes went to New York, but in 1865 (age 15) returned to this native city, where he began following the calling of an auctioneer, which business occupied his attention for some years. For the past 20 years (1871-91) he has been in the real estate business, and it is safe to say that none are better known or enjoy a larger measure of public confidence than Mr. Homes. He is a thorough businessman, of unquestioned reputation, and carefully looks after and guards the interests of his clients. His attention has been given to all branches of the business, and he has done much to advance the corporate growth and business interests of the city by inviting hither men of capital from various parts of the country, and offering inducements to residents to own houses and lots of their own, as well as to purchase lands for manufacturing, mercantile and other purposes. His facilities and connections are unsurpassed, and he brings to bear that wide range of authority upon present and prospective values of city and suburban property, and intended investors can fully rely upon his sound judgement and judiciuos advice in making purchases. In 1888 he was elected member of the state legislature, and is a popular and efficient member of that body. He was married in this city to Miss Isabella Douglas, by whom he has an interesting family of five children. Mr. Homes father was born in Boston, Mass., but his mother was a native of the "Pine Tree State" (Maine). The father was a foundryman, and was a man of sterling traits of character. Image Gallery
