New Orleans Longue Vue House and Gardens Walk Tour
Longue Vue’s mission is to preserve and share a legacy of design, community, and lifelong learning.

The Sterns worked with famed landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman (1866-1950) to produce an oasis of elegant beauty as their family home. Named “Dean of Women Landscape Architects” by House & Garden magazine in 1933, Shipman worked at Longue Vue between 1935 and 1950, in close collaboration with owners Edith and Edgar Stern. She earned the confidence of the Sterns to the extent that they took her advice and replaced the original 1920s family home with a new house, completed in 1942 and designed to match Shipman’s gardens. Shipman hand-picked the new architects: William (1897-1984) and Geoffrey (1909-1985) Platt. She participated in the Platt brothers’ selection of exterior facades, and she personally designed the home’s interiors down to the smallest detail. This extraordinary connection of house and gardens resulted in one of the most noteworthy American estates of the 20th century. Today, Longue Vue is the only extant example of Shipman’s holistic interior-exterior design concept.

Longue Vue’s gardens are the masterwork of 20th-century landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman: a visionary designer, intrepid female entrepreneur, and dear friend to Longue Vue founders Edith and Edgar Stern. In 1968, Edith opened the gardens of Longue Vue to the public, so the entire community could experience them. Our job today is simple: Continue sharing Shipman’s design legacy with new audiences, from expert horticulturists to local families.
The Longue Vue house you see today was the second home built for the Stern family on this site. The first house was moved (it still stands at the intersection of Garden Lane and Metairie Road, about 100 yards away) to make room for the current, starkly different home. A crew of donkeys spent several weeks pulling the house on logs, just a short way each day.
