About Madame John's Legacy
This historic house museum sits on Dumaine Street in New Orleans' French Quarter. Finished in 1788, it reflects the older French colonial building style that was still common in the city at that time. The National Park Service's National Register record lists it under architecture, and it was named a National Historic Landmark in 1970. The Louisiana State Museum owns the house and gives tours.
