The Neighborhood:

The Lower Garden District is famous for its parks, restaurants, and history!



The area was originally developed between 1832 and 1900 and is considered one of the best-preserved collections of historic mansions in the Southern United States. The 19th-century origins of the Garden District illustrate wealthy newcomers building opulent structures based upon the prosperity of New Orleans in that era.



This whole area was once a number of plantations, including the Livaudais Plantation. It was sold off in parcels to mainly wealthy Americans who did not want to live in the French Quarter with the Creoles. It became a part of the city of Lafayette in 1833, and was annexed by New Orleans in 1852. The district was laid out by New Orleans architect, planner, and surveyor Barthelemy Lafon.



Originally the area was developed with only a couple of houses per block, each surrounded by a large garden, giving the district its name. In the late 19th century, some of these large lots were subdivided, as uptown New Orleans became more urban. This has produced a pattern for much of the neighborhood: of any given block having a couple of early 19th-century mansions surrounded by "gingerbread"-decorated late Victorian period houses. Thus, the "Garden District" is now known for its architecture more than for its gardens per se.

Other Things to Note:

This home is a "shot-gun" style double. Meaning it has been divided into 2 separate homes with separate entrances. It is raised so there are about 5 or 6 steps outside to get up to the porch. Inside one bedroom and both bathrooms are located downstairs, the other 2 bedrooms are up a flight of stairs. Because it is a traditional "shot-gun" style home, this means all rooms are lined up in a row and you will walk through one to enter another (aside from the private restrooms).
