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

Longue Vue House and Gardens is a house museum and botanical garden on Bamboo Road in the Lakewood neighborhood of New Orleans. The present house, completed in 1942, has four facades that differ from one another, each facing its own garden. It holds 20 rooms on three stories with original furnishings, and the grounds cover 8 acres.

The Sterns' first house and gardens on the site date from 1924. Landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman began redesigning the gardens in 1934; finding the original house obstructed the new layout, the Sterns moved it and built the present house from 1939 to 1942, designed by William and Geoffrey Platt.

The house was built for Edith Rosenwald Stern, daughter of Sears executive Julius Rosenwald, and her husband Edgar Stern, and retains its original furnishings across 20 rooms. Edith was a civil rights and education philanthropist; the family's collection and rooms record that public role alongside their private life.

Longue Vue is at 7 Bamboo Road in the Lakewood neighborhood; the entrance is off the long lawn framed by a low brick wall and tall brick pillars. The house is open daily and charges an admission fee. Much of the garden walk is outdoors, so allow time to cross the grounds between the four sides of the house.

Longue Vue is the only major landscape where Ellen Biddle Shipman had complete creative control, a point cited when it became a National Historic Landmark in 2005. The house itself, finished in 1942, has four different facades, each facing its own garden.
