One of the trendiest neighborhoods in New Orleans, the Garden District features the best-preserved collection of houses from the 19th century. The historic mansions are still this area’s specialty; most were built between 1832 and 1900. This area was mainly built for the people who refused to stay in the French Quarter, as it was crowded. The area of the Garden District starts at Jackson Avenue on one side. There are a couple of historic mansions in this area that you cannot miss. Some of the other impressive works of architecture include the Rink, Lafayette Cemetery, Colonel Short’s Villa, the Briggs-Staub House, Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel, the Women’s Opera Guild House, Toby’s Corner, Bradish Johnson House, and the Louise S. McGehee School. There is also the Archie Manning House, Morris Israel House, and much more. New Orleans has much more to offer, so embark on an adventure with the best Viator tours and get a taste of nightlife at the best nightclubs in town.
