A century-old Spanish Colonial Revival mansion located on Audubon Place in New Orleans has been listed for $6.89 million. Built in 1927, this five-bedroom residence is one of 26 architecturally significant homes on the private, gated street near Tulane University. The property was landmarked in 1979 for its distinctive architectural style.

Designed by the architectural firm Weiss, Dreyfus and Seifarth, the mansion was featured in The American Architect magazine in 1928. The current owner, an LLC associated with John Georges—owner of Imperial Trading and The Times-Picayune newspaper—purchased the 7,139-square-foot home in 2022 for $3.2 million. Following a period of vacancy, the property underwent a two-year restoration to preserve its Spanish Colonial character while updating its structure and systems.

Architectural highlights include ornate front entrance detailing, a combination of smooth stucco with textured surfaces, an arched loggia, Spanish tilework, intricately painted ceilings, and leaded glass windows. The single-story home offers a new kitchen and butler’s pantry, four en-suite bedrooms in addition to the primary suite, and a den or billiards room. Outdoor amenities feature a covered loggia and a pool deck.

Audubon Place, established in the 1890s, has been home to notable residents such as the late Tom Benson, owner of the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans, and Samuel Zemurray of United Fruit. The street’s exclusivity and historical significance contribute to the mansion’s prominence in the New Orleans real estate market.
