Gallier House, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States Enter an opulent era at Gallier Historic House and marvel at the Victorian furnishings and decor within this architectural gem. Completed in 1860, Gallier House was designed by famed Crescent City architect, James Gallier, Jr. As a family home, Gallier House showcases several engineering innovations, such as indoor plumbing with hot and cold running water and a double skylight. Using the original household inventory as a guide, period decorative arts reflect the Galliers’ refined taste. This comfortable lifestyle was made possible through the work of enslaved people, and later domestic servants, whose work and lives are also interpreted on tours.

This tour was one of the highlights of our time in New Orleans! The architectural details and the preservation of this house are exquisite. Our tour guide was Peter and he was absolutely fantastic - incredibly knowledgeable and patient with the groups many questions. Great delivery and was factual yet sensitive around the harder historical aspects of slavery. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

This was our first visit to the Gallier House. The house is largely as it was when first occupied in 1860 by Gallier Jr., who designed the house for his young family.
We were lucky enough to get Peter as our host and guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging about the house and its links to the history of New Orleans. His presentation was very detailed. Our small group asked many questions which he thoughtfully fielded them all with aplomb. A great experience all the way around.
Well worth your time when you are in the French Quarter.
