Museum Talk! Stacey Pfingsten Talks About Pitot House

One of the few West Indies-style houses remaining in Louisiana, The Pitot House was home to the first U.S. Mayor of New Orleans James Pitot and his family, 1810-1819. The only colonial Creole, country house in New Orleans that is open to the public, the building was purchased in 1964 by Louisiana Landmarks Society, an architectural preservation non-profit, which uses the house as its headquarters. The Pitot House is a National Trust Partner in Preservation. 

Stacey Pfingsten is the director of the landmark.
