First, a luxurious private residence, then a boarding house for single women, and finally a museum, this Federal-style mansion known as the Hermann-Grima House, in the French Quarter of New Orleans, encapsulates the essence of the 19th century. It’s no wonder that its meticulously restored features and charming courtyard garden attract large groups of tourists every year. 

A Unique House in the French Quarter of New Orleans

Acquired by the Christian Woman’s Exchange in the 1920s and operated as a boarding house for single women until 1975, the Hermann-Grima House underwent restoration and transformation into a museum in 1975, still owned and managed by The Woman’s Exchange, a local nonprofit organization.
