Late Victorian

The Garden District of New Orleans is a leafy residential neighborhood that has been fashionable since the 1830s, containing around 1,000 historic luxury homes dating from before the Civil War to the early 20th century.

Designed by William Paul, the Devereaux was built as a cottage for William Staines in 1857 and expanded to a mansion for William Jennings in the 1870s.

Built in 1890 for William Anson, the John Anthony House is described by the National Register as “the most clear-cut and best-preserved example of a particular type of vernacular architecture in the Eastlake tradition in the city.”
