Garden District

Just south of downtown near the Mississippi River, the Garden District in New Orleans is home to some of the best-preserved mansions in the southern United States.

The area is intersected by historic NOLA thoroughfares Third Street and Magazine Street, with St. Charles Avenue to the north.

Be sure to drive by the George Washington Cable House on 8th Street, built for the American novelist in 1874.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark given the prescence of significant landmarks like the Anshe Sfard Synagogue, built in 1925.
