New Orleans Historic Homes

New Orleans is rich with history, and stands out as one of the great American cities that has carefully preserved its many historic sites. Our real estate agents know that historic architecture is a unique aspect of the city that long-time residents and newcomers alike love to explore!

When you choose New Orleans homes for sale, there will always be something exciting to see around the corner. On any given day, you'll see dozens of companies offering walking tours and bus tours to help you find all of New Orleans' secrets and discover them for yourself.

Let's take a look at just a few of the many examples of historic architecture in New Orleans:

  • St. Louis Cathedral – 615 Pere Antoine Alley, New Orleans, LA 70116
    St. Louis Cathedral is one of the greatest religious monuments in New Orleans, a testament to French history and influence in the region. Still an operating cathedral to this very day, it has been around in some form since the city's founding back in 1718. The current structure was consecrated in 1794.

  • The Cabildo – 701 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA 70116
    The Cabildo is located right in the heart of Jackson Square, one of the most iconic landmarks of the French Quarter. This elegant building, the epitome of the Spanish colonial style, stands right next to the Cathedral, allowing you to see them both easily. The Louisiana Purchase was finalized here in 1803.

  • Historic New Orleans Collection – 520 Royal Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
    Historic New Orleans Collection is a museum and archive that stores art and documents telling the story of New Orleans. This free history museum is a center of research on New Orleans and the Gulf. Exhibitions are carefully curated and touch on many subjects, including coastal nature, the French Quarter, and local artists.

  • Hermann-Grima House – 820 St. Louis Street, New Orleans, LA 70112
    Hermann-Grima House is a fully restored French Quarter home that was originally built back in 1831. The expansive courtyard is one of the building's most striking features. It has been noted by major publications, touted as one of the best tours in New Orleans, and an excellent way to uncover more of local history.

  • Historic BK House and Gardens – 1113 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA 70116
    Historic BK House and Gardens is on the National Register of Historic Places and was completed in 1826. It is distinguished as one of the region's best examples of a raised center villa. Truly a piece of New Orleans, it has distinctive features with both a Creole and American background. Guided tours take place on most days.

  • Longue Vue House and Gardens – 7 Bamboo Road, New Orleans, LA 70124
    Longue Vue House and Gardens was originally the home of two local philanthropists, Edith and Edgar Stern. It was completed in 1921, making it relatively modern among the treasures New Orleans has to offer. Now, all of the eight acres of property are under nonprofit leadership and can be explored as a museum and a public garden.

  • The 1850 House – 523 St. Ann Street, Jackson Square, New Orleans, LA 70116
    The 1850 House is a state museum dedicated to giving you a window on the past circa 1850. Step back in time and see what life was like with a painstakingly restored structure. Daily walking tours allow you to see it inside and out. The rowhouse is full of furniture and decorations, each exceptionally true to the way life was.
