About this property

The Byrnes House - Classic Garden District Greek Revival Home

  • 1/2 block from Parade route. Classic Garden District Greek Revival home built in 1898, The Byrnes House has all the classical architectural details - fluted Doric Columns in a double gallery, Grape leaf and bow frieze, small pediment, triglyph entablature with large dental molding. Inside are 13 ft ceilings, huge windows, plaster medallions, giant pocket doors, etc.; renovated and updated with all modern conveniences.

    In addition to the great architecture, the location simply cannot be beat. The Utne Reader listed the Lower Garden District #1 on their list of the Hippest neighborhoods in the US. Surrounded by restaurants, bars, antique stores, and unique shops, you will find this to be a most interesting neighborhood. PLUS, one block to the Saint Charles Ave streetcar, and you are a short ride to the Warehouse District, French Quarter, Canal Street, the River Walk, Mid-City, City Park, Museums, Universities, Audubon Park - everything great about New Orleans. Oh yeah, did I mention that the Mardi Gras parades pass one block away on St. Charles Ave.?

    This historic building was home to 3 generations of accomplished men of the Byrnes family. Col. William H. Byrnes was born in Ireland in the year 1845. He came with his parents to America when a boy, and ultimately ascended to the presidency of the Hibernia Fire Insurance Co. Five successive governors of the state of Louisiana gave him the rank of Colonel on their military staffs. William H. Byrnes, Jr., was a Louisiana Senator who introduced legislation establishing Loyola University of New Orleans. William H. Byrnes, III, was the Chief Judge of the Louisiana 4th Circuit Court of Appeal.

    ***Note: Access to Bedroom #4 is through Bathroom #3 and up a set of narrow stairs. It may not be appropriate for the elderly, infirm, or toddlers. However, it is great for a gaggle of kids, or anyone else who wants a quiet, isolated space. ***

The Byrnes House was perfect for our stay in New Orleans! The house is very well stocked, comfortable, and large. The description is also very accurate - my kids absolutely loved the hidden bedroom upstairs and talk about wanting to go back. David is a fantastic host, communicative and responsive.

A beautiful restored 1890’s home in Lower Garden district of New Orleans. One block from streetcar, with very reasonable ‘all-day’ fares. Ample sleeping room for 10 of us, 5 grandchildren slept on 3rd floor and loved it. 2nd floor has 3 comfortable king beds. Neighborhood was quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Family Thanksgiving in New Orleans

This was the first time visiting for 6 out of 7 of us, ranging in age from 21-57. We are from San Francisco, so we loved the architecture, and really appreciated the gorgeous details in the house. It was a great location for us, as we walked, tram’d, or Uber’d all over the city. We loved the house— Comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, and an amazing location.

Charming house, great location

The house overall was charming. Lots of unique and a few quirky qualities that come from being built over a century ago - for us, part of the fun. Kitchen has been updated and was well appointed, which was important to us as we were traveling with family. The location was fantastic. Quick walk to Magazine with lots of restaurants and shops. Also a quick drive to the French Quarter.

Long weekend

Beautiful historic home in a great location. Big well-stocked kitchen and comfortable gathering spaces. As other reviewers noted, there is exposed ceiling in one of the bedrooms, and the house could use some instructions/ labels for the alarm, TV, even some of the lights. AC worked great, and gated parking was a plus.

Wonderful location and access

This home is a delightful taste of living in the historic Garden District and was very accessible to the Quarter, Downtown, Uptown sites and I-10. Magazine street restaurants and shopping just a 5 minute walk, as well as other stately GD homes. My favorites were the very high ceilings, chandeliers, tall windows and original polished wood floors. A very well equipped and clean home.

70th Birthday Celebration

The existence of this 1800’s home is an experiential and historical gift. It’s the real thing with ceilings of at least 18 feet, large rooms, antique architectural fixtures and the southern charm that only a house of this era could have.We were so pleased with its authenticity and the manner in which this provided a true New Orleans experience. We also appreciated the flexibility on check in day as 4 individuals drove but 5 others flew in throughout the day. Thank you!

Grand Home in Garden District.

Great Historical Home in the Garden District. Close to great shopping and restaurants on Magazine Street. House is grand and charming. Does need some TLC (scuffs and chips in paint; cracked transom window over front door; plaster falling off ceiling in middle upstairs bedroom). Besides these things we loved staying at the house. It accommodated 10 people easily.

We stayed here two years ago to start planning our daughter's wedding, and came back this year to finally celebrate it.
