Post-Civil War Greek Revival Mansion built by Jean Simon Mellueir in 1868 on a lot subdivided from the Nicolas Pandea Benachi estate. Situated along newly paved and redesigned (added bicycle lane) Esplanade Avenue, this property is equidistant (~1/2 mile) from the French Quarter and City Park. The main house is comprised of two independent 2,300 sq/ft units. The upper unit has 2 beds/2.5 baths and features 13 ft ceilings, original plaster molding and medallions, original wood flooring and stone mantels (3 elaborate fireplaces). This unit also features an 800 sq/ft parlor with an original hand carved cypress archway and floor to ceiling pocket windows as well as a commanding view of Esplanade from the elaborate galley which itself is adorned with cast iron railings and hand carving Greek Revival stylings of the original facade. The lower unit was added to the structure in 1924 and has the same floor plan as the upper unit albeit with 8 ft ceilings. This unit is comprised of 3 beds/2 baths and currently generates rental income. A separate 950 sq/ft guest house with an address on Barracks Street was recently fully renovated utilizing a host of salvaged materials. This two-story home has 1 bed/1.5 baths and features the original cooking chimney set square in the middle of the house as well as an open kitchen floor plan. All units have new plumbing and electric. Exterior of each structure recently painted.
