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. ***

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!

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.

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

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.

Elegant Home in the Garden District
We came to town for my daughter’s wedding, and we were delighted with The Byrnes House. Spacious rooms and comfortable furnishings were perfect for family to gather. The space easily accommodated the bride, mother of the bride and ten bridesmaids getting ready on the day of the wedding. We especially appreciated the beautiful natural light from the large windows, and the many mirrors throughout the home. The natural beauty of the house was perfect for photos of the bride and wedding party. The kitchen was well appointed making it easy to provide snacks and meals throughout our stay. The location was awesome to catch some Mardi Gras parades during our stay, and convenient to great shops and restaurants. The owner was easy to contact and responsive to our questions. I would definitely stay at this property again!

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.

The house is better than the photos really show. It was more spacious then I expected. The location is fantastic. We walked to the street car daily for easy transportation. We walked easily to magazine street. The owners were responsive. Parking availability is a plus. All ages had a great time. Our group of 6 ranged from 11-45 an there were more than enough beds. Someone with mobility difficulties might have trouble with stairs. There was plenty of space to spread out. Linens were fantastic. Laundry availability a plus. Well stocked for toiletries made it much easier for travel. It felt like a vacation.
