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.

The house has been nicely preserved and updated with time period furniture. The history of the house and tour guide was excellent.

Thought it was a simple house tour but came away with one of our best experiences ever. Loved Gallier House but it was our tour guide who went far beyond expectations.
