Uncover the architectural legacy of New Orleans in this lively walking tour through the French Quarter. Starting at HNOC’s historic Seignouret-Brulatour Building, guests will learn about the French, Spanish, and American influences that shaped New Orleans’s built environment, from Creole cottages to cast-iron balconies. The tour will start in the galleries and then go beyond our walls for a short walking tour exploring the architecture of the French Quarter.

This tour is given rain or shine and includes about one mile of walking. Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are strongly recommended.
