History - Walker Mansion, a beautiful Queen Anne Italianate of the Victorian Era was built in 1880 by famed architect, Thomas Sully, who designed many of the mansions on St. Charles Avenue during that period. The house was built for Colonel Joseph Walker, the Baron of the St Charles Railroad (now Streetcar). He was known as a "Swashbuckling Capitalist" who made his fortune in the gambling business, which was considered a less than honorable profession at that time.

About Candy 4
We (Candy & John) bought Walker Mansion in 2017 because we fell in love with its beauty, history, and charm. We split our time between Fort Lauderdale and New Orleans, so you may see us at the Mansion when you visit.

Beautiful and Comfortable
We had a wonderful time staying at Walker Mansion! I will most definitely stay here again if I return. It was in a lovely neighborhood and it was great to explore downtown or simply sit outside on the deck. Great food spots all around and easy access to the street car! This is a dream stay!
Thank you so much!! Please stay with us again any time.
Fantastic
Historic, walking distance to a lot Uptown, clean. Great place for a family/large group.
Happy happy joy joy... Our stay in the mansion was better than
The area was cleaned and well maintained. The kitchen supplied all of our needs and it was surprisingly private though there were other guests. Parking was no problem as well. The owners were awesome and offered their assistance for whenever we needed.
Thank you so much!!! Please stay with us again any time.
Location
Perfect location on St Charles Avenue in the Garden District. St. Charles is New Orleans most prestigious address, famous for beautiful tree-lined streets, huge Victorian Mansions, and the Street Car. The Street Car outside your front door will take you to and from the French Quarter 24/7. It drops you off at the corner of Bourbon St and Canal St, which is the starting point for the French Quarter. Walking distance to several restaurants on St. Charles and Magazine Street: like St. Charles Tavern, Trolley Stop Cafe, Houstons, Mr. John's Steakhouse, Cheesecake Bistro, Sushi, Walgreens, District Donuts and more. Also, the StreetCar will get you to many more places on St Charles like Fresh Market, Commander's Palace, Superior Grill, etc.
