Gallier Hall, Historic city hall in New Orleans, United States.

The Greek Revival architecture of this former city hall features twelve white granite Doric columns across the facade and detailed interior marble work.

James Gallier Jr. designed this municipal hall in 1845, and the construction was completed in 1853, serving as New Orleans' city hall until 1957.

The building maintains its role in New Orleans traditions by providing an official viewing stand for Mardi Gras parades and hosting municipal ceremonies.

The building includes 16 restored ballrooms available for public events, with guided tours offering information about the architectural and historical elements.

The restoration project in 2018 returned the building to its original 1853 appearance, including the cleaning of marble surfaces and recreation of historic paint colors.
