At the front of the first floor there is a double parlor. The large sliding doors between the two sections of the double parlor are in Greek Revival Style. Each parlor section has a marble fireplace. The first floor has an L-shaped hallway, one section running parallel to the front of the house, starting at the entrance door; the other section is parallel to the Philip Street side. Along this latter section are two small rooms and a bathroom. A large dining room, with a marble and metal fireplace, is located along the First Street side; double doors at the rear of the dining room open out to the first level of a two-level open gallery of wood construction. In the Philip Street section of the hallway is located the stairway to the second floor.

The plan of the house probably served as the model for Gallier 's own house in the French Quarter at 1132 Royal Street built between 1857-1859, recently restored and now open as a museum\ (See article by William Cullison, "Gallier House--The Home of a Nineteenth Century New Orleans Architect," ANTIQUES (September 1972), p. V/5.) In addition to this special historical significance^/ the house is also significant as a well preserved example of the Gr^ek Revival Style in New Orleans, The plan, size, and proportion of the rooms; the detailing of the fireplaces and of ceiling mouldings; the large sliding doors between the two parlors; the cornices over the windows; and the ironwork of the front galleries are among the features of interest. <^..- NATIONAL REGISTER Times- i; icayime :-Tev; ^rleartG ot-tec /r rv".n.zinc, Auf. 22, I-^R, :*r.
