Eclectic in style, romantic in stature, and iconic in status , this dignified space isn’t to be missed when visiting the enchanting 18th-century mansion. Within its brightly colored walls, a handmade archway, intricate ceiling, and delicate stained glass window speak to the refined elegance of its 1912 construction, while contemporary touches tell the tales of New Orleans today.
