Gallier Hall, an imposing Greek Revival masterpiece, served as New Orleans’ city hall for over a century, from its completion in 1853 until 1957. Located on the St. Charles Avenue parade route, it has been a central site for civic events, including mayoral inaugurations, Mardi Gras celebrations, and public memorials.

The hall’s massive columns, intricate plasterwork, and stately interiors have made it a beloved historic venue. Today, it continues to host ceremonial events, weddings, and concerts, preserving its role as a cultural and architectural landmark in the city’s heart.
