Property Description
Standalone French Quarter building on world-famous Royal Street, offering a compelling combination of visibility, architectural distinction, and flexible mixed-use income. The ground floor is occupied by the popular museum and retail concept Leroy's Place, complemented by an additional studio space discreetly positioned at the rear and oriented around a lush, traditional French Quarter courtyard.
Upstairs, two full-floor residential units each open to their own covered cast-iron street galleries overlooking Royal Street. Both residences feature classic architectural elements including soaring ceilings, separated kitchens, and private rear bedrooms that provide a quiet retreat from street activity.
Situated on one of the most desirable blocks of Royal Street, directly across from the Cornstalk Hotel and surrounded by many of the Quarter's most recognized landmarks, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure a true blue-chip asset in a premier Vieux Carre corridor.
Constructed in 1840 as part of a series of three three-story brick dwellings commissioned by German-American bankers Joachim and Samuel Kohn, the building reflects the evolution of Royal Street architecture through the mid-19th century. Its ornate cast-iron galleries and front entrance date to the 1850s, a period when the property was owned by noted architect Louis Henry Pilie, who maintained his office on the first floor alongside famed architect J.N.B. de Pouilly. Greek Revival ground-floor openings were later adapted with late 19th-century shop windows, reinforcing the building's long-standing commercial presence.
