Longue Vue House and Gardens, National Historic Landmark and botanical garden in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The estate encompasses eight acres of landscaped gardens surrounding a three-story Classical Revival house with distinct facades matching each garden section.

The Stern family established the property in 1921, with landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman creating extensive gardens starting in 1934.

The house museum displays original furnishings and decorative elements that represent twentieth-century American design and social practices.

The gardens and house remain open every day of the week, offering guided tours, educational programs, and special events for visitors.

Each of the four sides of the residence features different architectural elements specifically designed to coordinate with the adjacent garden spaces.
