The mansion gained notoriety in the 1830s when it was discovered that its owner, Madame Delphine Lalaurie, was mistreating enslaved people in her household.
The mansion is a fine example of Creole architecture, featuring a blend of French and Spanish influences typical of New Orleans in the early 19th century.
The mansion's eerie history inspired its inclusion in the television series 'American Horror Story: Coven,' where it was depicted as a haunted house.
Today, the Lalaurie Mansion is privately owned and not open to the public, though it remains a popular stop on ghost tours in New Orleans.
Since the Lalaurie family's departure, the mansion has changed hands numerous times, serving various purposes, including a school and a furniture store.
