Madame John's Legacy is a house in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. The name is taken from a story by George Washington Cable.[2] The house was built in 1788, after a fire destroyed much of the neighborhood. The house was rebuilt in the older French colonial style, rather than the current Spanish style.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.[2][3]
The site was restored at a cost of $265,000 during 1972-1974.[3]
The Louisiana State Museum owns the house and provides tours.
