The Byrnes House - Classic Garden District Greek Revival Home

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. ***

Perfect New Orleans experience
Beautiful old home that the pictures in the listing just doesn’t do justice to being there live. Home is much bigger in real life. Comfortable with plenty of room. But best of all was walking one block to the St Charles streetcar that will take you quickly downtown or if you walk across St Charles to the Pontchartrain hotel and go to the Hot Tin bar on the 14th floor, you can enjoy a panoramic view of downtown while sipping on your favorite drink.

Wondeful Place to Relax From A Day In The Quarter
Bring the family and enjoy a home away from home. Great location close to the trolley line and yet far enough way from things that you can relax and enjoy the splendor of Old New Orleans. And the host is easily accessible and responsive.

Such a fun house
This house brought all the pleasant quirks typical to New Orleans. It's a very spacious and convenient place that I would love to stay at again! The host was very generous in letting us check out at our own leisure. My friends and I had a wonderful jazz fest experience staying there!

Family Adventure Tour
The Byrnes House was the perfect accommodation for our family of eight in the Lower Garden district. Plenty of room, modern, well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms. One block from the St Charles streetcar, which took us right down to the French Quarte Walked all over the area - enjoyed heritage homes, great restaurants. Very safe. Some traffic at peak times, but otherwise very quiet.

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.

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.

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.

Exceptional VRBO for a large group
Our family of 8 with ages from 18 to 76 years had a perfect stay! Our large group could spread out comfortably, and we especially appreciated the ample kitchen and bathroom supplies. The location is perfect for visiting the Garden District, Magazine Street restaurants and shops, and of course, the French Quarter. David is an excellent host, and always quickly available to answer any questions. Highly recommend!
