George Washington Cable House, National Historic Landmark residence in Garden District, New Orleans, United States.
The George Washington Cable House features a Colonial style structure with brick pillars and a raised basement ten feet above ground level.
Built in 1874, this house was the residence of writer George Washington Cable until 1884, during which he published his notable work The Grandissimes.
The residence reflects the literary heritage of New Orleans through its connection to Cable, who wrote extensively about Creole society and racial equality.
Located at 1313 8th Street, this private residence remains visible from the street following restoration work that removed concealing hedges.
Mark Twain visited this house during Cable's residency, establishing its significance within the network of nineteenth-century American literary figures.
