Perseverance Hall, Masonic hall in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

Perseverance Hall No. 4 is a Masonic lodge building constructed between 1819 and 1820, making it the oldest Masonic temple in Louisiana. It stands within Louis Armstrong Park in New Orleans and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 2, 1973.

Built between 1819 and 1820 by architects Correjolles and Chaigneau, this structure stands as Louisiana's oldest Masonic temple. It marks an early phase of neoclassical building in the city and remained central to community organizations for generations.

The hall's name comes from the Persévérance no. 4 lodge, one of several French-named and other Masonic bodies that rented it. Black and white organizations alike booked it for dances, concerts, Monday night banquets and recitals, and it served as the terminal point for Labor Day parades with white and black bands.

Perseverance Hall No. 4 stands inside Louis Armstrong Park, next to Congo Square and the Mahalia Jackson Theater. The building is a contributing element of the park grounds rather than a separately ticketed site, so visitors see it while walking the park. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 2, 1973.

Perseverance Hall served as the terminal point for Labor Day parades that involved both white and black bands, a detail easily missed by visitors. The building also hosted Monday night banquets and recitals alongside its dances and concerts, rented out to organizations of both races.
