More pictures from the Garden District of New Orleans. The Crescent City has perhaps the most diverse architectural heritage in the nation, and the Garden District, a National Historic Landmark district, is acknowledged as the best preserved collection of historic southern mansions in the U.S. Developed in the second half of the 19th Century, the area was home to New Orleans’ wealthy and they built opulent homes that, even today, are stunning.
