The park is located in Eastern New Orleans, off Interstate 10. Despite various announced plans to redevelop the site, as of February 2016, it is still an abandoned amusement park in extremely poor condition.

If constructed, the Trump Tower would have become the tallest building in the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana, at seventy stories. At a height of 716 feet along with a 126-foot spire, it would also be the tallest building along the Gulf Coast outside of Houston, as well as the tallest point in the state of Louisiana.

In 1934, landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman began to work with the Sterns on the designs of their gardens. Through the re-working of the gardens the Sterns decided that their house did not allow them to fully enjoy their new grounds, and the original house was subsequently moved and a new one erected in its place starting in 1939. This new house was designed by architects William and Geoffrey Platt whose father, Charles A. Platt, was Shipman’s mentor. The four facades of the house have four different appearances and out each of the four sides there is a different garden. It has 20 rooms on three stories, with original furnishings. The gardens include Asclepias tuberosa, azaleas, caladium, Callicarpa americana, camellia, Canna, Chionanthus retusus, chrysanthemum, crape myrtle, cyclamen, Delphinium, Ficus carica, Gossypium, hydrangea, Koelreuteria bipinnata, Louisiana irises, Lycoris aurea, Narcissus, Passiflora incarnata, Phytolacca americana, Euphorbia pulcherrima, roses, Stigmaphyllon ciliatum, tulips, vitex, and Zingiber zerumbet. Longue Vue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, and further was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2005. Though damaged by Hurricane Katrina, Longue Vue has reopened thanks to the commitment of the staff and volunteers from around the country that helped to bring back the gardens.

The Presbytere

The Presbytère, also known as The Presbytere, is an important historical building in New Orleans, Louisiana and is located in the French Quarter along Jackson Square, adjacent to the St. Louis Cathedral. The Presbytère, originally called the Casa Curial, derives its name from the fact that it was built on the former site of the residence, or presbytére, of the Capuchin monks. While intended to house clergy, it was never used as a religious residence. It was designed in 1791 to match the Cabildo, or Town Hall, on the other side of St. Louis Cathedral. The second floor, however, was not completed until 1813. The building initially was used for commercial purposes until 1834, when it was used by the Louisiana Supreme Court. In 1847 the structures mansard roof was added. In 1853, cathedral officials sold the Presbytère to the city, and in 1908 the city sold it to the state. In 1911 it became part of the Louisiana State Museum. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970. In 2005, the cupola was replaced atop the Presbytère.

It served as the orchestras home theater until the orchestras financial demise in 1991. Under new ownership, the Orpheum became the home of the newly formed Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestrawhose musicians prized the auditorium for its acoustical purity. The theater is an example of "vertical hall" construction, initially built to provide perfect sight lines and acoustics for vaudeville shows which didnt have the benefit of amplifiers or modern lighting. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, the Orpheum Theater was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina floodwaters and was sold to a Dallas businessman. It was then sold to Axiom Global Properties in 2011 . Neither of these owners succeeded in restoring the theater to commerce. The theater was purchased in February 2014 by Dr. Eric George.

Founded as a Native American trading post predating European colonization, the market is the oldest of its kind in the United States. It began where the Cafe du Monde currently stands and has been rebuilt and renovated a number of times. In the past, the "Meat Market" was the only place within the French Quarter that could sell meat. Only after meat was being sold elsewhere did the name change to the "French Market." Individual vendors purveyed many different fresh foods, including raw seafood, through the mid-20th century. The French Market stretches just inland from the Mississippi River in the section of the French Quarter downriver from Jackson Square, from the Café du Monde at the upriver end, to the flea market stalls across from the New Orleans Mint building. While part of this space has been dedicated as a market since 1791 in the colonial periodthe oldest extant structures date to about 1813. Major renovations were done by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. Rebuilding and renovations have continued into the 21st century. Much of the area formerly housing arcades of roofed but wall-less merchant stands now houses shops and restaurants separated by doors and walls, catering to the tourism industry. The cafés and bars here offer New Orleans crawfish and other seafood, Cajun food, Creole cooking, desserts, fruits, vegetables, and more. The French Market is also known for hosting some annual events including the French Quarter Festival and the French Market Creole Tomato Festival. The flea market is especially busy on weekends. Free musical events are often given in the French Market. The New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park office and visitor center is in the French Market. The market is included on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail.
