Gallier House, National Historic Landmark in French Quarter, New Orleans, USA.

Gallier House is a restored 19th-century house museum at Royal Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, built of locally made soft brick on brick-on-brick foundations that widen below ground. Its stucco covering protected the brick from wind and water, and the eclectic design mixes Italianate stucco treatment with a formal classical front entrance. The original cast iron front gate was designed by James Gallier Jr. himself rather than bought from a catalog.

James Gallier Jr., a prominent New Orleans architect, designed and built this house in 1857 for his own family to live in. The residence became a demonstration of the city's growing prosperity and architectural advancement during the mid-1800s.

The house appears in season 1 of AMC's 2022 series Interview with the Vampire as the home of the vampires Lestat, Louis and Claudia. Its exterior also stands in for Madame Lalaurie's mansion in episode 1 of American Horror Story: Coven, and it served as a filming location for Banshee (2015), Angel Heart (1987) and Cat People (1982).

The house sits on an accessible street corner and interior spaces are compact, making a visit straightforward to plan. It is helpful to check tour times beforehand and consider booking ahead during busy seasons to ensure you can enter.
