Longue Vue House and Gardens in New Orleans is a nationally significant house-and-garden ensemble created as the home of philanthropists Edgar and Edith Rosenwald Stern. Beginning with an earlier house and gardens in 1924, the estate was extensively redesigned after 1934 with landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman, whose complete creative control over the landscape makes it her only major work of that kind. As the gardens took shape, the original house was moved and a new residence, designed by William and Geoffrey Platt, was built from 1939 to 1942. With 20 rooms, original furnishings, and four facades opening to different gardens, it remains a notable historic house museum.
