Property Description
The famous Pontalba Apartments flanking Jackson Square were America's first real apartment complex. The 1850 House offers a rare look inside a Pontalba townhouse of that era. Faithfully decorated with period furniture, artwork and domestic goods, the house evokes the lives of middle class families -- and their live-in servants -- during the most prosperous period in New Orleans' history. Guided and self-guided tours.; French Quarter walking tours depart from ground-floor gift shop.
