The Montgomery-Hero House in the Garden District is a charming historic home with a rich past. Built in 1868, its first owner, Archibald Montgomery (then president of the Crescent City Railroad) commissioned the notable New Orleans architect Henry Howard to design and build the grand “cottage” with 360-degree gardens surrounding the structure

The two-and-a-half-story square cottage boasts a unique design with gables on all sides and a lovely verandah.
