Huey P. Long Mansion, Mediterranean mansion in Audubon Boulevard, New Orleans, US.
The Huey P. Long Mansion is a pink stuccoed house of concrete blocks at 14 Audubon Boulevard, set back from Willow Street near Tulane University. Its red tile roof, scrolled entrance arch and crested broken pediments in the foyer draw on Spanish Churrigueresque, while groups of round arches on Persian columns are Byzantine in origin. Hooded classical mantels in the front rooms follow Italian Renaissance models, and the rear sunroom has a marble floor and arches opening to a balustraded patio.
The house at 14 Audubon Boulevard is a 1920s Mediterranean Revival building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It was formerly owned by Louisiana Governor Huey P. Long, who only occasionally resided there. It remains privately owned.
The house's name comes from Huey P. Long, who owned it but stayed only occasionally; it remains a private residence. Its foyer holds crested broken pediments and a scrolled entrance arch, while the rear sunroom has a marble floor and arches opening onto a balustraded patio.
The building stands near Willow Street and Tulane University campus and remains privately owned, so it is visible only from adjacent streets. Since this is a private residence, visitors can only view the exterior from the surrounding sidewalks and streets.
The house was designed by Weil, Benson and Bendernagel, a New Orleans firm described in its National Register nomination as one of the city's leading architectural practices of the 20th century. The nomination also notes bottle glass windows and heavily cut and paneled doors, details a passerby can look for on the facade.
