Old Governor's Mansion
Behind the front door
A place in history.
The Old Governor’s Mansion at 502 North Boulevard is once again the showplace it was when it was newly built. This was accomplished by the cooperative efforts of the State of Louisiana and the Foundation for Historical Louisiana in the restoration. The Mansion was completed in 1930 during the glory days of one of Louisiana’s most colorful political figures, Huey P. Long. Nine governors of Louisiana have been official occupants of the Mansion from Huey Long (“The Kingfish”) to Jimmie Davis (“The Singing Governor”). Under the stewardship of the Foundation for Historical Louisiana, docent-guided tours give the history of the house and its occupants.
