Hermann–Grima House, Federal mansion in French Quarter, New Orleans, United States.

The Hermann-Grima House is a Federal-style mansion in the French Quarter featuring a symmetrical facade with galleries, shuttered windows, and deep setbacks from the street. Inside, the rooms display period furnishings and a working 1830s kitchen with an open hearth that reflects how families cooked and worked.

Samuel Hermann, a broker born in Rödelheim in 1777, bought the St. Louis Street lot in 1831 and hired architect William Brand to build this Federal-style house. The 1837 cotton market crash ruined him, and he sold the property to Felix Grima. In the 1920s the Christian Woman's Exchange bought it, ran a boarding house for single women until 1975, then restored it as a museum; it became a National Historic Landmark in 1974.

The house bears the name of two families: Samuel Hermann, a German-born broker who had it built in 1831, sold it after the 1837 cotton crash to Felix Grima. About half the furnishings can be traced to the original families, and the dining room holds a Restoration-style piece by cabinetmaker Francois Seignouret.

You can explore the house through guided or self-guided tours that show the furnished rooms and working kitchen. Morning visits tend to be less crowded, giving you more time to look around and ask questions about what you see.

The Hermann–Grima House keeps the only surviving horse stable and 1830s open-hearth kitchen in the French Quarter. The stable and the kitchen building stand in the courtyard behind the Federal-style main house, so a visitor can see where the household's horses and cooking were kept.
