Bishop Portier House
Bishop Portier House, Historic residence on Conti Street, Mobile, United States.
The Bishop Portier House stands one and a half stories tall with a square plan, featuring a center hall running from front to rear.
Built in 1834 by architect Claude Beroujon, the house served as the residence of Michael Portier, the first Roman Catholic bishop of Mobile until 1859.
The building represents Creole architectural design with Federal details, incorporating elements from French, Spanish, and American construction traditions of the 19th century.
Located diagonally across from the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, the Bishop Portier House faces Cathedral Square at 307 Conti Street.
Three ornate dormers with classical details enhance the structure, while the center entrance displays pilasters, an entablature, a transom, and side lights.
