2212 Burgundy

A Rich History

The Faubourg Marigny was laid out in the first decade of the 19th century by eccentric Creole millionaire developer Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville. This land was his family plantation located just down river from the old city limits of New Orleans—the “Vieux Carre” or French Quarter. This area was owned by one of the wealthiest families in the world. 2212 Burgundy rests on the portion of the Marigny built up first, the “high ground” and the area closer to the river.

Wide Elysian Fields Avenue, named after the Champs-lyses in Paris, was designed to be the main street of the Faubourg Marigny. It was the first street in New Orleans to extend all the way from the riverfront straight to Lake Pontchartrain 8 km (5 miles) away. In 1830-31 the Pontchartrain Railroad was built with tracks down the center of Elysian Fields. The area at the other end of the rail line developed into Milneburg. Marigny’s town square, Washington Square, fronts Elysian Fields and is located across the street from 2212 Burgundy.

The 1984 World’s Fair held in New Orleans initiated a time of change for many residents. Several long-term residents from the French Quarter migrated into the Marigny. Frenchmen Street has developed as one of the city’s premier collections of live music venues and restaurants, and is a popular destination for music and entertainment lovers from across the world.

Many other New Orleans’ annual celebrations such as Mardi Gras and Saint Patrick’s Day have rich histories within the Marigny. This area continues to serve as a cultural jewel within New Orleans.
