New Orleans Walkabout - 8 - a photo on Flickriver

            Before it was the Garden District, the area was several plantations. The plantations were sold off in pieces to wealthy Americans who wanted to live outside of the French Quarter and away from the Creoles.  Their homes, many of which still stand today showcase the opulence of the wealthy newcomers to the area and the prosperity of New Orleans during that time period.

In 1833, the area officially became part of the City of Lafayette. Nearly 20 years later, in 1852 it became part of New Orleans.

Traditionally, each block only had two houses, each surrounded by a large garden, hence the name. However, in the late 1800’s some of the large lots were subdivided as Uptown New Orleans became more urban. This created a pattern of 19th century mansions surrounded by “gingerbread” decorated late Victorian style homes. That’s the reason why the Garden District is now known for its architecture just as much as its natural scenery.
