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. ***

We had an excellent stay at the Byrnes House! David was a great host. He was quick to respond to any questions we had, and he was very pleasant to communicate with. The house is conveniently located just a block from the streetcar, and it is beautiful both inside and out. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the large front porch. I would definitely stay here again.

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.

We had a wonderful week staying in this beautiful home. You can’t beat the location!! It’s only one block from St. Charles and easy to walk the areas of St. Charles street and Magazine street. There is also a trolly stop at the end of the street. The owner was easy to work with and quick to reply. Looking forward to staying here again!

This is a great spot to enjoy New Orleans! The house has plenty of space, and it has a great classic New Orleans feel. You really get to feel like you are staying in New Orleans with this location with the big porch, and lovely furnishings. It is also just a block away from the trolley that can take you right to the French Quarter, and is also just a quick ride away from Magazine St or Frenchmen St. I would definitely recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by David Constance

Host profile image
My wife and I were born and raised in New Orleans. Although we have lived in a number of places, including Hawaii (Submarine Officer) and China, we always return to New Orleans.

I purchased this home in 1992. We recently moved to a home on a park in New Orleans to provide the children with some bike riding freedom. Vacation rentals is our way to keep this magnificent home until we are ready to move back once the children are older.

Why they chose this property

Every true New Orleanian dreams of having a classic Garden District Greek Revival home. Built in 1898, this house has all the classical Greek Revival architectural detail - fluted Doric Columns in a double gallery, Grape leaf and bow frieze, small pediment, and a triglyph entablature with large dental molding. Inside are 13 ft ceilings, huge windows, plaster medallions. . . . the works!

What makes this property unique

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 resturants, bars, antique stores, and unique shops, you will find this to be a most interesting neighborhood. PLUS, One block to 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, 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.?
