Awesome NOLA street names!

The distinctive Street tiles of New Orleans. The tiles date back to the 1880’s, as street markers for the slow passed horse draw carriages. The original tiles were manufactured in Belgium.

Interpreting comfort in a changing home

Located just off of Lydia's bedroom, this upstairs room has been staged as a bathroom to help visitors visualize how bathing practices evolved over time. Though it was not originally used this way, its current setup reflects shifting ideas of privacy and personal care in the 19th century.

The marble tub, dating to around 1800, was present during Jean Noel Destrehan’s lifetime and remains a rare original piece. While it symbolizes comfort, preparing a bath like this required physical labor—water had to be drawn, heated, and carried in by enslaved individuals, whose efforts made this kind of domestic life possible.

Tours offered daily from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM

I never get tired of our wonderful architecture, this beautiful home is in the 900 block of Royal Street, the cast-iron balconies are white, which is unusual!
Sometimes these balconies were brought over from Europe and used as ballast weight to help balance the tall ships coming across the ocean.
