Gallier House - New Orleans

The Gallier House is located on Royal Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana.  It was the home of noted New Orleans architect James Gallier, Jr., built in 1857 on land that had once belonged to the Ursuline Convent.  The house is noted for its wrought iron arches which extend from the balcony to the roof and are considered among the finest in the French Quarter.  In addition to his home, Gallier also designed the French Opera House and the third Christ Church Cathedral.  He lived here with his wife and children until his early death in 1868.  The family owned the home until 1917.  The Gallier house has been restored and now serves as a museum.  It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.
