The History of the Orleans Ballroom

Built in 1817 by John Davis, the Orleans Ballroom is the oldest, most historic ballroom in New Orleans. When it opened, it became the setting for the most select affairs in New Orleans. Such events held here were masquerade balls, carnival balls and the forever famous Quadroon Balls in which beautiful fair-skinned African American women, or Quadroons, were selected to be the mistresses of wealthy Creole gentleman.


There was a time when a ticket to a Quadroon Ball cost two dollars, so that people of a certain social rank could afford to attend. It was written that the Orleans Ballroom was, without a doubt, the most richly decorated in the United States and these balls made the capitals of Europe envious.

In 1827, the Orleans Ballroom became the state and house legislative meeting place. It is said, but unverified that Andrew Jackson announced his candidacy for President of the United States of America within these staunch walls.

In 1881, it was no longer the swish of ball gowns that could be heard in these halls, but the swish of Nun’s habits. For it was this year that the Orleans Ballroom was sold to the First Order of Negro Catholic Nuns and partitioned for use as convent, orphanage and school.

In 1964, the entire block was bought by a local developer and the now present Bourbon Orleans Hotel was built next to the Orleans Ballroom. And today, this ballroom still hosts grand masquerade balls and carnival functions as well as weddings, dinners and receptions. Even our local merchants and government hold their events here.
