The building on Governor
Nicholls St. was erected in 1822 for a plantation owner for use
as his townhouse on visits to the port city of New Orleans to sell
his cotton. During the Civil War, this building served as one of
three hospitals in the Quarter. The street name at that time was
Rue de l'Hospital. The street name was later changed to honor Governor
Francis T. Nicholls who was a Civil War general before being elected as
governor of Louisiana.

The Bougainvillea House was featured on All Business Media FM to discuss the history of the property, the French Quarter, getting licensed in New Orleans, and much more. We discuss everything from when the house was built (it's not 1822, it's even older!) to how the property got its name. We even mention some of our celebrity neighbors in the Quarter.
