Napoleon House
Napoleon House[edit | edit source]
The Napoleon House is a historic building located in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. It is named after Napoleon Bonaparte and is famous for its connection to the exiled emperor, although he never actually resided there.
History[edit | edit source]
The Napoleon House was built in 1797 by Nicholas Girod, who was the mayor of New Orleans from 1812 to 1815. Girod offered his residence to Napoleon in 1821 as a refuge during his exile. Napoleon never made it, but the name stuck, and the building has been known as the Napoleon House ever since.
Architecture[edit | edit source]
The Napoleon House is a fine example of the French Colonial style of architecture, with its three-story stuccoed brick building, ironwork galleries, and courtyard. The interior retains its original 19th-century charm, with period furnishings and portraits of Napoleon.
Today[edit | edit source]
Today, the Napoleon House serves as a popular bar and restaurant, offering traditional New Orleans dishes and the famous Pimm's Cup cocktail. It is also a popular venue for weddings and other special events.
In Popular Culture[edit | edit source]
The Napoleon House has been featured in several films and television shows, including The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and NCIS: New Orleans.
