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. ***

Wedding Weekend
This beautiful 1800’s home was perfect for our needs. The house was just a 1/2 a mile from our venue, which was very convenient! The location is also just one block off of St Charles in the Garden District, which is a highly sought after location. The trolley runs on St Charles which takes you to downtown, French Quarter, City Park and many other locations. It is also convenient to Magazine Street which has great shopping and restaurants. We loved the house because there are 4 large bedrooms and 5 king size beds, which were very comfortable, and 3 full bathrooms. There is plenty of room to sit with family and friends with a large living room and parlor. There is also a large kitchen and dining room, although we did not cook while there. There are too many great restaurants to eat at in New Orleans. We had no trouble parking on the street and there is off street parking at the back of the house which we never needed. David, the host was great!! Always quickly responding to any questions and offering to supply whatever we needed for our little one. David was gracious and allowed us to check in early, which was greatly appreciated! We enjoyed our stay very much and we would rent again!

70th Birthday Celebration
The existence of this 1800’s home is an experiential and historical gift. It’s the real thing with ceilings of at least 18 feet, large rooms, antique architectural fixtures and the southern charm that only a house of this era could have.We were so pleased with its authenticity and the manner in which this provided a true New Orleans experience. We also appreciated the flexibility on check in day as 4 individuals drove but 5 others flew in throughout the day. Thank you!

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.

Family Thanksgiving in New Orleans
This was the first time visiting for 6 out of 7 of us, ranging in age from 21-57. We are from San Francisco, so we loved the architecture, and really appreciated the gorgeous details in the house. It was a great location for us, as we walked, tram’d, or Uber’d all over the city. We loved the house— Comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, and an amazing location.

Beautiful home in great location
This is more of a 4.75 place. The home is beautiful with chandeliers and high ceilings. It’s located easy walking distance to the St Charles street car. Perfect for getting around the city. The only issues are with a beautiful older house come a few “old house” problems. Nothing significant though. And the top floor is a little difficult to get to if you have any mobility problems. But I wouldn’t let that stop you from staying in this great house. Definitely recommend!!

Beautiful historic home in a great location. Big well-stocked kitchen and comfortable gathering spaces. As other reviewers noted, there is exposed ceiling in one of the bedrooms, and the house could use some instructions/ labels for the alarm, TV, even some of the lights. AC worked great, and gated parking was a plus.

Best of Both Worlds
The Byrnes House was the perfect stay for our family in New Orleans. The house is located in the Garden District full of beautiful homes and great restaurants. It was fun to explore this area and stay in a clean quiet area for our family. Then when we were ready to hit the busy French Quarter, it was less than a 10 minute drive or a quick hop on the trolley to be in the middle of it all. The home was well furnished and so spacious as well as generous with its supply of sundry items. Dave the manager was a wonderful host. He had the home ready which included a baby crib and baby gates for the stairs. We have stayed in many towns in many homes and this home is one of our new favorites!

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.

A Lower Garden District Aging Beauty
This is a lovely property in a great area of the Lower Garden District. The home could use a bit of maintenance and some upgrades to it. Nothing that should prohibit a comfortable stay but would add to the overall experience. Also, some more information provided onsite such as tv controls, alarm controls etc would be appreciated.

I stayed at this house with a group of 8 for a bachelorette party and it did not disappoint. The pictures do not do the house justice- it is so much larger and beautiful in person. The location was perfect. David was such an accommodating and communicative host, and the house was stocked with linens and even extra toiletries in case we forgot anything. Aside from some mold on a shower curtain upstairs, the house was clean and we would love to stay again someday. Thank you so much!

50th Bday and Irish Channel Parade
We picked this property due to its close proximity to the Irish Channel Parade route during St. Patrick's Day weekend. We were also celebrating a 50th birthday party so we were going to have friends popping in an out, as well as attending the parade. David's house was a perfect backdrop to a perfect weekend. It oozes old world New Orleans charm. The location was perfect for walking to St. Charles Street and Magazine with no shortage of places to eat and drink. The house itself was made for entertaining with plenty of space downstairs with two gathering rooms and a decent sized kitchen and eating area. High ceilings really open up the space. The beds were very comfortable. The grand balconies provided plenty of relaxing moments people watching on the streets. We had one very small issue related to the internet, and David was quick to come out and correct the issue. We will definitely look to stay here again. JP
